“ReEGNo Novo-Granatensi?”? Humboldt & Bonpland, ace. to Kunth in 
HBK. 1. ec. 
[Ecuador.] 
This species, founded by Kunth on material of Humboldt & Bon- 
pland without precise indication of its source, was by him doubtfully 
attributed to Colombia. Subsequently rediscovered in Ecuador, it is 
probably also a native of Colombia although not as yet fully demon- 
strated in the latter country.
