A single collection ( J. Pensiero & G. Marino 4379 , NY) from Chuquisaca determined by Barneby in 1994, is apparently the first record for Bolivia . Four additional collections ( J.R.I. Wood & D. Villarroel 25467 , J.R.I. Wood & Pozo 25985 , J.R.I. Wood et al. 26573 , J.R.I. Wood et al. 26582 , LPB, K) from near Rincón del Tigre as well as collections from near Roboré ( J.R.I. Wood & M. Mendoza 27317 , LPB, K) and from Cordillera Province ( Fuentes 3384 , USZ) confirm that this species is widespread and locally abundant on sandy soils in open ruderal habitats around the fringes of the Chaco , and is thus well named.
