Hi everyone,

I'm doing some research on Phaedranassa and have got absolutely stuck
on P. lehmannii. It was originally described by Regel in Gartenflora
in 1883, together with an illustration. This says that it was
collected by Lehmann in Colombia at 7,000 feet. As far as I can
trace, nobody has written anything more concerning the species
since. However, it is still considered a valid epithet in the Kew
database of monocots.

Looking at the illustration one would think that it was Stenomesson
miniatum: however, as far as I know that species is only known from
Peru and Bolivia.

If anyone can throw any more light on the subject I would be very
pleased to hear from them. Many thanks in advance for any help that
can be given.

Best regards,
David Victor
