Sisyrinchium vestitum | |
Sisyrinchium vestitum is a species of flowering plant in the family Iridaceae. [1] It is endemic to the region around Santiago, Chile, where it mostly grows in the temperate biome. [1]
Sisyrinchium vestitum was described by the Chilean botanist Pierfelice Ravenna in 2003. Ravenna's description appeared in issue 6, volume 8 of his self-published journal Onira, which had very limited distribution. Subsequent review of this protologue has been limited. The species is accepted as a correct name by the global taxonomy resource Plants of the World Online. [1] However, the regional Flora del Cono Sur, published by the Instituto de Botánica Darwinion in Argentina, regards Sisyrinchium vestitum as a heterotypic synonym for Sisyrinchium graminifolium . [2]
Ravenna's description of the species was based on a holotype he collected in the Santiago area on November 10, 2002, numbered Ravenna 4997. [3]

Zuloagocardamum jujuyensis is a very rare, dwarf species of caudiciform cress-like plant in the family Brassicaceae which was first described in 2014. It is endemic to mountains in Jujuy Province in northern Argentina, where it is only known to grow on the grounds of El Aguilar mine at 3,700 meters in altitude. It is only known from a single recent collection. It is the only species in the new genus Zuloagocardamum, a monotypic genus. It is quite similar in fruit and flower to Chilocardamum and Weberbauera, but the taxonomists describing the species decided it was sufficiently distinguished by dint of its well-developed, woody caudex, and extremely reduced, leafless branches bearing small rosulate tufts of linear leaves, and sticky, mucilaginous seeds.
