Notes: "There are no clues on the painting itself as to its geographical origin, .... the narrow geographical range of the species makes it practically certain that the picture could have been painted only in Chiapas or Guatemala, by the artist Cerda, during Mociño's travels to Central America, probably 1796-1798." 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. 489.
