This species is distinguished by having winged staminal filaments with crisscrossed sickle-shaped appendages, grows on dry slopes in semi-arid areas with pumice soils near the Huaynaputina volcano. This is the first record of Hieronymiella for the Flora of Peru. Its conservation status is assessed.
