The longer version

Species: classified as pachanoi under the collection number KK339.

The material was collected and distributed by the Czech collector Karel Knize under the number KK339.

The collection comes from Ecuador and was distributed by Karel Knize under the KK prefix.

The number refers to an area Knize mapped rather than to a single plant, so anything labeled KK339 comes from that population.
