Note

Superficially similar to 0. veraguensis Mez, but differing in such technical characters as the stipitate stamens and peculiar staminodia. Named in honor of Mr. Hugh J. White, our host while at Monte Lirio, who has found the timber of this tree to be excellent for cabinet work. Mr. White reports the native name to be " Bambita. "
