Alstroemeria garaventae is a species of flowering plant in the family Alstroemeriaceae, native to Central Chile.[1] Alstroemeria garaventae subsp. longaviensis is a subspecies of it found at Achibueno and Ancoa valleys and characterized by tepals and inflorescense leaves of smaller size than the usual subspecies.[2] Alstroemeria garaventae subsp. garaventae, the main subspecies, grows at altitudes ranging from 1200 to 2000 meters above sea level. The subspecies Alstroemeria garaventae subsp. longaviensis grows at a much lower range, from 240 to 390, and does so at locations more than 100 km south of the distribution of the main subspecies.[2]
