Justification:
A shrub endemic to Ecuador where it is known from two subpopulations in the Cordillera de Huacamayos, along the Cotundo-Coca and Baeza-Tena roads. The species forms part of pioneer vegetation along roadsides but also occurs inside the forest in gaps. Not known to occur inside Ecuador’s protected areas network but may be present in the Reserva Ecológica Antisana and in the Parque Nacional Sumaco-Napo-Galeras. Other than habitat decline, specific threats are unknown for the species.
