Remarks

doi:10.11646/phytotaxa.558.2.7 Etymology: the specific epithet in Latin means beauty of form and manifestation of a favor. This refers to the nice appearance of the plant and largely to the fact that while exploring in the field the new species was found just a few minutes after the type collector specifically asked Yeshua if a new species still could be found in a highly disturbed habitat as the type locality.
