Remarks

doi:10.11646/phytotaxa.484.1.4 Named after the Mapudungun (Mapuche language) to honour the indigenous Mapuche people, who live in central-southern Chile and Argentina, where traditionally they have very close spiritual links to nature. The specific epithet derives from 'Malalcura' that means 'rock enclosure', referring to the type specimen locality (Cordillera del Malalcura), which is a hill crowned by granite rocks. Altogether, the species name means 'flower of rock enclosure', from the spanish 'flor de corral de piedra'.
