Comments:

• The original description of this species stated that it was collected from the summit of Cerro Moriche at 1250 m elevation, but the holotype at US and an isotype at F indicate that the type collection was made at 300 m and was found to be frequent around the northeastern base of the mountain.
  Open, rocky tepui slopes, 300(?) m; Amazonas (Cerro Moriche). Endemic. —See Steyermark, Holst et al. 1989
