In valle superiori fluminis Amazonum orta est cultivarietas huius speciei, eisdem proprietatibus medicis, modo vegetativo propagata, a populis Peruviae, Aequatoriae et Colombiae culta, nomine botanico Erythroxylum coca var. ipadu Plowman, cuius diagnosis sic ab auctore scripta est:

Ab Erythroxylo Coca typico ramis fortiter erectis virgatis, ramentis paucis vel nullis, foliis apice rotundatis, lineis abaxialibus obscuris, pedicellis brevioribus, stamineo urceolo valde 10-denticulato, stigma promienti, ovato-oblonga differt.
