Guyana, monts Acarai, R.H. Schomburgk s.n. (HT: K000718359 [ex hb. Lindl.; une inforescence]).
D'après Romero-González (Harvard Pap. Bot., 10(2): 236. 2005): "The holotype is labelled "Schomburgk Hort. Loddiges." Lindley ([London J. Bot., 2(12): 672. 12/]1843) reported "Acaray Mountains" as the type locality, the current spelling of which is "Acarai," a chain of mountains running roughly east to west at the southernmost border of Guyana with Brazil (approximately 0˚ 25' N 59˚W). It is assumed here that Schomburgk made this collection on the Guyana side of the border. Listed as Houlettia vittata in Bentham’s enumeration (Lindley, [London J. Bot., 2(12): 672. 12/]1843)."
