All samples come from one single site located in the Eastern Andean range of Colombia (4° 33’ N, 74° 00’ W), and were collected between October 2013 and March 2015. For the collection of traits, we collected mostly leaves, sometimes branches and few fruits per individual to measure their seeds, all collection were limited and should not affect the population at the site.
Samples were collected under the collection permit “Master Permit for the Collection of Wild Species Specimens from the Biological Diversity for Non-commercial Scientific Research Purposes” (in its original language “Permiso Marco de Recolección de Especímenes de Especies Silvestres de la Diversidad Biológica con fines de Investigación Científica No Comercial”) granted by the National Environmental Licensing Authority through resolution No. 1177 of October 9, 2014 to the University of the Andes and to researcher E. Lasso under the research project “Impact of climate change on plant biodiversity in Paramo, and on the ecosystem service it provides us as a carbon sink” (permit number: IBD0359). Voucher specimens are accessible in University of los Andes herbarium (ANDES).
