FLEISCHMANN, Andreas  e  GRANDE ALLENDE, José Ramón. Taxonomy of Heliamphora minor Gleason (from Auyán-tepui, including a new variety. Acta Bot. Venez. [online]. 2011, vol.34, n.1, pp.001-012. ISSN 0084-5906.

Heliamphora minor is the only species of Sarraceniaceae growing on Auyán-tepui (Bolívar State, Venezuela). Earlier citations of Heliamphora heterodoxa from the summit of this mountain can all be assigned to misidentified H. minor. Heliamphora minor f. laevis was based on etiolated material of both H. minor from Auyán-tepui and H. pulchella from Chimantá massif. This paper includes the description and illustration of H. minor var. pilosa A. Fleischm. & J.R. Grande, a new variety from the summit of Auyán-tepui, an annotated list of specimens from M, MO, NY and VEN that have been previously identified as H. minor, as well as a key for the two newly recognized varieties.
