It is not known yet if other herbarium vouchers of this species, other than the type material from 1889, exist. In any case, these new herbarium specimens and population records of its new distribution will aid future researchers in better understanding this little-known species. Not only have our recent expeditions yielded the rediscovery of some plant species, but the discovery of others. Since the study areas have had little or no historical scientific exploration they have always been gap of biological knowledge, devoid of scientific documentation. Therefore, every collection from the region provides us with proof of what species occur there.
Some collections represent new distributional records for species on the peninsula.
That is, species found in the center of the peninsula that were formerly only known from the more tropical Cape Region in the south or from the more temperate north. Other collected specimens serve as new records for the peninsula. That is, species previously known only from mainland Mexico or from the United States, or else species that have been reported from the peninsula but never collected, have now been definitively documented with museum specimens to occur on the peninsula. Even more exciting, some of our collections may represent possible species which are new to science. That is, organisms found that don't seem to correspond to any species that has been previously described.
