Distribution

Native distribution areas:

Southern America Caribbean Trinidad-Tobago [see Note below]. Brazil Brazil West-Central (Mato Grosso) [see Note below], Brazil Northeast (Alagoas, Bahia, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte), Brazil Southeast (Minas Gerais [see Note below], Rio de Janeiro), Brazil North (Pará). Note: Ferrucci (2020: 121) claims she failed to confirm occurrences of this species in Trinidad-Tobago (Lockhart s.n. ex Hb. Gardner comm. c. Hb. Webb anno 1851; cf. FI [​FI004649 (036374)(JSTOR)]), Minas Gerais, and Mato Grosso, presented by Radlkofer (1932) though she cites forma subhirsuta, all of whose syntypes are from Minas Gerais and she even noticedGaudichaud [148], syntype from Mato Grosso at P in 2001. Radlkofer (1897; 1932) also cites Schenck 1170 (Joinville, Santa Catarina, BRAZIL; stirps junior sterilis, November 1886) [Brazil South]. References: Brummitt, R.K. 2001.
