Your photo depicts Stenomesson chloranthum. It was described a few years ago by Alan Meerow and Henk van der Werff (as a Stenomesson) and was only placed in Pucara provisionally. Pucara differs from Stenomesson by its pollen in tetrads as I recall. It is formally "lumped" into Stenomesson now as this is not enough of a difference to maintain it as a separate genus. No doubt molecular investigations support this view also. So P. leucantha is now S. leucanthum. Too bad for us collectors such an evocative name had to go away.
