• LOCAL NAME. Huicundo (Acosta Solis 13494).
  
  from Gilmartin 1972
  The length of the plant may vary from as short as 15 cm to as tall as 75 cm including the well developed stem in T. incarnata H.B.K. However, the inflorescence parts, the leaf dimensions, and shapc are much less variable. The altitudes at which this species has been collected to date in Ecuador are from ca. 2000 m to 3000 m. The stamens are included as is the stigma but often the anthers reach the apices of the petal blades. Vegetative propagation in its natural habitat is common. The above 32 specimens bear witness to the abundance of T. incarnata in portions of the northern and central Ecuadorian Andes. —See Smith & Downs 1977
