Both collectors, John Wood and David Goyder are thanked for useful discussions on the habitat where this species grows, and the second author would like to thank his Bolivian companions, Paola Pozo, Daniel Soto and Daniel Villarroel, when he was able to recollect the species in Santiago de Chiquitos during a field trip in April 2008. The authors would also like to thank anonymous reviewers for their comments on an earlier version of the script. John Wood is also thanked for providing the Latin translation of the diagnosis.
