Remarks

doi:10.11646/phytotaxa.302.3.7 the epithet yacuriense refers to the name of the National Park, “Yacuri”, where the new species was found; the Park was named after one of its main features, the Yacuri lagoon complex; in the Quechua language “Yacu” means water and “curi” means gold, which probably reflects the presence of gold in its waters
