To the same spedes we should refer Funsk 77/ collected in
1845 (P) * and Spruce 1556 collected at Tarapoto, Peru (K). Also
more or less fragmentary recent collections ffom Bolivia: Lower
Rio Cocos, Williams 11 go; San Raphael, Williams 1189; and
more doubtfully the juvenile forms, Isapuri, Williams 1203.
