Baptism

Last days I've been thinking about names for the new species. It was a little complex to decide if name for morphological conspicuous characters, by the place in which the species was collected or in honor to someone.
After thinking about the collecting experience in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, I've decided to name one species for the collecting place, which is the highest elevation of P.R.; another one for the collecting place, named in honor to a Taíno Cacique; another one which was founded in different collecting places through D.R., will be named for the Taíno name of the island; another one for its green coloration; the species from Bahamas, for its coloration too.
If the names are approved, I'll let you know!
