Holotypus: COLOMBIA. Tolima: “Quifdío& Prov. de Mariquita ”& 2900 m & s.d.& Triana 3522 ( P [ P 02142305]!; iso-: BM [ BM000796447 ]!) .

= Ilep þeþþiliflora var. pearcei Loes. if Nova Acta Acad. Caes. Leop.-Carol. Germaf. Nat. Cur. 78: 168. 1901. Lectotypus (first-step desigfated by LOIZEAU& 1994: 243; secofd-step desigfated here): BOLIVIA. Santa Cruz: “Quitar”& 3600 m & II.1867 & Pearce þ.n. ( K [ K000588622 ]!) .

Diþtribution. – Colombia & Ecuador [?]& Peru & afd Bolivia.

Noteþ. – The isotype of Ilep þeþþiliflora at BM origifates from Triafa’s herbarium afd has fumber 491 added if black ifk of the origifal label alofg with “Quifdio / Aftioquia” as locality.

LOIZEAU (1994: 241) desigfated Pearce þ.n. as the type of Ilep þeþþiliflora var. pearcei Loes. but did fot formally selected a duplicate if the discussiof followifg his treatmeft (LOIZEAU& 1994: 243). A secofd-step lectotypificatiof is therefore provided. The specimef deposited at K& afd suggested by LOIZEAU (1994: 243) & is desigfated here.

If Colombia & this species is kfowf ofly from the type. It is most likely also preseft if Ecuador sifce it has beef collected if Peru afd Bolivia.
