Location
Bolivia. Santa Cruz. Andrés Ibáñez Prov. Along new paved highway from Santa Cruz to Abapó, 10 km N of Basilio.
-
Habitat
Disturbed grassy roadside through former chaco forest, now mostly cleared for pastures.
-
Description
Usually only single stems and few-branched above, to 2.5 m tall, standing well above the grassy roadside vegetation, not seen in nearby pastures cleared from former continuous chaco forest. A patch of many plants in this area, a few seen scattered elsewhere, obviously at home in stabilized roadside from road construction a few years ago. There are no other collections from Bolivia at NY; could this be introduced? A few pink flowers; fruit abundant, greenish, turning light brown.
