Sisyrinchium venezolense

Sisyrinchium venezolense is a species of flowering plant in the family Iridaceae.[1] It is endemic to Venezuela, where it mostly grows in the subtropical biome.[1]

Taxonomic history

Sisyrinchium venezolense was described by the Chilean botanist Pierfelice Ravenna in 2003. Ravenna's description appeared in issue 13, volume 8 of his self-published journal Onira, which had very limited distribution. Subsequent review of this protologue has been limited. The species is accepted as a correct name by the global taxonomy resource Plants of the World Online.[1]

Ravenna's description of the species was based on a holotype collected by W. Gehringer at Páramo de Mucuruba in the state of Mérida on May 21, 1930, numbered Gehriger 116.[2]
