Narrative
Collected by L. Feine and A. Pena. Local name Ataco. Received as A. quitensis. Observed by Brenner in the fall of 2015 greenhouse planting to be unusual: It has the determinate EDULIS type infloresences with large terminal male flowers in weed-type green, long-bract, infloresences. The tepals and style notches are of the A. caudatus types.
