03AE0C082E71FFEA12E6FAFFFB922CE5.taxon	distribution	Distribution, habitat and phenology: — Gloxinia major is endemic to Bolivia (Dept. Chuquisaca and Tarija), between 600 – 1000 elevation, appears in a semi-deciduous forest in the Chacoan province with precipitation up to 500 – 750 mm and annual temperatures between 18 – 23 ºC (Cabrera & Willink 1973; Fig. 6). This species is known only from two localities; it was first collected by K. Fiebrig in 1904 in Chuquisaca, and more than 100 years later (Zuloaga & Deginani 15804) plants of this species were found growing in a neighboring department (Tarija). Flowering and fruiting from January to March.	en	Lizarazu, Mabel A., Zanotti, Christian A.
