Notes
Edinb. N. Phil. Journ. (Jan.-March 1830) 378:"Seeds of this plant were sent to me from Mr. Harris at Rio Janeiro by Captain Graham, late of his Majesty's Packet Service, in April 1829. It has been kept in the stove, and flowered in February and March last. I am enabled to identify it as the plant of Martius, by a specimen communicated by Martius himself to Dr. Hooker... the specimen alluded to was collected by Martius on the Rio Belmonte...probably not far from the province of Rio Janeiro." Martii Herbar. Florae.
