This is what I have been told about plants like this from a friend at the USDA. When a company or an individual imports plants, every single plant that comprises an order or parcel has to be individually labeled with a genus and species name. If a plant is actually an unknown, undescribed species, it still has to have a label on the manifest and the phytosanitary documentation. So vendors/exporters will put a name on it just to get it into the country legally. A company Ecuagenera has more than one growing operation in Ecuador. They have I believe at least 5 distinct separate entities of land that they own for the production of plants for export. When a plant has not been officially described, they will put a 'place holder' name on it, and frequently it will include the region or place it came from. Pangui, Mosquera, Chikal, Napo, etc. and the descriptors AFF, 'like', 'type' etc..
