Henry A Gleason a botanist in U.S. first published the Tatei species in 1931 prior to that: ("Gleason: the tyler-duida expedition in the torrey bulletin club volume 58: starts on pg. 368)
as for the actual expedition:
George Henry Hamilton Tate led a major expedition of the American Museum of Natural History to Cerro Duida in 1928–1929.[2][3] Named the Tyler-Duida Expedition, it was the first to reach the mountain's summit plateau and the first to climb a tepui of the Venezuelan Amazon.[4] Mount Duida frog was first collected during the expedition and is still not known from anywhere else, although it was formally described only 40 years later.[5][6] Although primarily a zoological expedition, much plant material was collected.[3] These herbarium collections were studied extensively by Henry Gleason, who formally described many of the mountain's plant species in a series of papers published in 1931.[7][8][9][10] This was followed by a number of important botanical explorations of Cerro Duida, first by Julian A. Steyermark in 1944 and later by Bassett Maguire in 1949 and 1950.[3][4] " via wiki
