Habit. A-her : annual or biannual herbaceous ; P-her: perennial herbaceous ; Shr: Shrub 1-5 m; Sb-shr: Subshrub (having woody parts, being generally less than one meter in height); Sc-shr: Scandent shrub; Tr: tree. Habitat: Tro: Tropical area ranging from 0 – 1,000 m; Sba: Sub Andean area ranging from 1,000 – 2,200 m; And: Andean or High Andean area ranging from 2,200-3,300 m; Par: Paramo area ranging from 3,300 – 4,200 m; E-Medit (exotic Mediterranean), E-Temp (exotic from temperate zones); E-Subtr (exotic subtropical), E-Tro (exotic from tropical areas). hu: humid; d: dry. When the place of origin is indicated in parenthesis (), this shows that the species has been cultivated in another region. * In the case of taxa previously studied from a different locality, the new locality is indicated.
