Checklist of Bolivian Compositae - Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew

?Bolivia (?), Chile, ?Ecuador. Cited by Foster (1958). Neher (1966: 157) cited this species as only ‗Chile and
Ecuador‘. It may well not be present in Bolivia; the type was cultivated material apparently from Chile, and
Neher cited only one other collection, Spruce 5790, from Ecuador.

Note: Cabrera (1978: 443) noted that the plant (in Jujuy) did not possess the bipinnate leaves called for in
Lagasca‘s description of that species, nor the corymbose inflorescences. However, leaf division is variable
across the range of the species and most plants only possess single capitula, rather than corymbose
arrangements.
