Notes: "... one of the elegant drawings made by Echeverría in the West Indies in 1795–96. Presumably this particular drawing was made in Puerto Rico, as Guarea glare does not occur in Cuba." according to Rogers McVaugh, Botanical Results of the Sessé & Mociño Expedition (1787–1803): VII. A Guide to Relevant Scientific Names of Plants (Pittsburgh: Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation, 2000, p. 289.
