Redescubrimiento de una especie y su nueva clasificación como subespecie de Alstroemeria garaventae (Alstroemeriaceae) de Chile

Abstract

We redescribed an uncertain species from the Achibueno and Ancoa valleys, Linares province, Chile. We have changed its status to a subspecies: Alstroemeria garaventae subsp. longaviensis. It differs from the typical subspecies in the minor size of the tepals of the inflorescense leaves, shows a southern distribution and grows at lower altitude than the typical subspecies.
