Arachis ipaensis |
Arachis ipaensis is a herb in the Faboideae subfamily. It is endemic to Bolivia.[1] This plant is cited as gene sources for research in plant biology of peanut (Arachis hypogaea). Its genome has been sequenced.[2]
Arachis ipaensis is only known from its type locality, Ipa near Villamontes, where it was collected in 1977. It was growing on top of the cliffs of a gorge among bromeliads. Surveys in 1994–2013 failed to find any specimens. Nonetheless, it is conserved in several international gene banks.[1]
