Justification: A subshrub or shrub endemic to Andean Ecuador. The type collection was made by A. Humboldt and A. Bonpland on the Antisana volcano in 1802. According to Smith (1944), Antisana remains the only known locale. May be a variety of L. microphyllus, a widely distributed species in the paramos of Ecuador and Colombia. A taxonomic revision of the genus in all the Andean countries is a prerequisite for an accurate assessment of the species' conservation status. |
