By obvious clerical error Kunth in HBK. Nov. Gen. et Spec. iv. 

 125 (1820), records the type of this species as from " frigidis montium 

 Novo-Granatensium," but the more detailed locality cited, namely 

 " inter pagum Guancabamba and Paramo de Guamani " makes it 

 clear that the specimen in question came from northern Peru. 



59. E. tinifolium HBK. Similar in many ways to the preceding 

 and likewise with considerable resinous or varnish-like viscidity;

 2 pairs of pinnately arranged more prominent curving intranuxrginal 

 nerves somewhat above the base; heads much as in the last, but in 

 smaller more compact less fastigiately branched round-topped 

 corymbs; flowers white. — Nov. Gen. et Spec. iv. 133 (1820). E.
