Mirandea andradenia T.F. Daniel

PHENOLOGY.— Flowering: August–October; fruiting: August–September.

DISTRIBUTION.— Mexico (Tamps.).

HABITAT.— Thornscrub, on limestone.

ELEVATION.— 700–1500 meters.

NOTES.— Daniel (1986a) provided a description of this rare species ( Fig. 3E ), which is endemic to Tamaulipas. Phylogenetic relationships among species of Mirandea (Kiel and McDade 2014) , suggest that the genus is not monophyletic as currently delimited. With an EOO of 179 km 2 and an AOO of 16 km 2 this species could potentially be assessed as endangered (EN) if threats and their impacts were to be identified ( IUCN 2019).
