Note
|
Both of the collections cited above had very poor flowering material, and part of the description is based on Woodson's Latin diagnosis (Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 26: 299-300. 1939). The specimen from Cocle had been identified as P. ipomaeifolia A. DC. by Woodson. However, the squamellae, pectinate and several in number, are definitely characteristic of P. remediorum.
