Notes: "... the plant was obviously drawn from a cultivated plant, probably collected in the West Indies. The style and execution of Torner 1596 indicate that the painting is one of those done by the artist Echeverría in Cuba or Puerto Rico." 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. 313.
