The species was first described by German botanist Max Burret in 1932, based on a collection made in 1880. Since the original collection was destroyed when the Berlin Herbarium was bombed during the Second World War, a neotype has been designated.[1]
Distribution and status
Aiphanes leiostachys is endemic to Colombia where it is known from only a few forest fragments in the Cordillera Central[2] in an area that has largely been deforested.[1] Given its limited range and the continuing pressures of forest conversion for agriculture and plantation forestry, it is classified as an endangered species.[2]
