Distribution.

Essentially restricted to South America, but occurring occasionally elsewhere (Jamaica, United States) and in the Old World. It is sporadic and uncommon everywhere. It usually grows in disturbed bushy areas and appears to be most common in the Andean foothills on the border between Argentina and Bolivia.

Typification.

In designating a lectotype for Calonyction pavonii we have selected the Spruce collection from De Candolle’s herbarium in preference to the specimen from Boissier’s herbarium, even though this last specimen is the only one actually annotated Calonyction pavonii by Hallier. This is because the Boissier collection appears to contain an extraneous element (spiny sepals) pasted to the attachment at the bottom left of the sheet, which is not in accord with the protologue ("sepala glaberrima"). The De Candolle specimen is thus the only extant syntype fully in accord with the protologue, the Marsh collection from Jamaica having been destroyed in Berlin in 1943.

Note.

The plants from northern Peru conform to subsp. pavonii in their small corolla and glabrous sepals but are remarkable for having unlobed, suborbicular, coarsely dentate leaves.
