6E85C95BA7205431AA9587AD7CEFF030.taxon	distribution	Distribution and ecology. This species is known only from the hills of the Balandra / Pichilingue area, where a total of 20 documented individuals occur over an area of no more than 500 hectares. E. balandra grows on coarse gravelly soils to bare rocky outcrops on the slopes of the hills. Some plants were documented on gravelly soil in the immediate vicinity of the seashore. Some insect visitors observed actively pollinating the plants were bees (Apidae), hoverflies (Syrphidae) and wasps (Hymenoptera).	en	Leon-De La Luz, Jose Luis, Lichter-Marck, Isaac H.
