Abstract

We redescribed an uncertain species from the Achibueno and Ancoa valleys, Linares province, Chile. We have changed its status to a subspecies: Alstroemeria garaventae subsp. longaviensis. It differs from the typical subspecies in the minor size of the tepals of the inflorescense leaves, shows a southern distribution and grows at lower altitude than the typical subspecies.
