I have a qeustion about Phrag. besseae. I understand
that the species is red, and that 'f. flavum' is yellow.
I recently came across 'v. Zumba' and 'v. Paute'. As
far as I can tell 'v. Paute' is the Peruvian form. To
complicate matters one page i found broke besseae into
Peruvian(v. Paute) and Zamoran(v. d'Alessandro), stating
that the Peruvian was found in Peru and Equador, and the
that Zamoran was very localized in Equador.

So my questions a
Are these official variations?

If 'v. Paute' is Peruvian and 'v. d'Alessandro' is Zamoran,
what is 'v. Zumba'?

What do they mean, and what is the difference between them?


Thanks,
Chris
