Note
|
One immature collection of Odontadenia remains unnamed-SAN BLAS: Hills back of Puerto Obaldlia, Pittier 4329 (US). Woodson (Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 22: 274. 1935) refers this collection to 0. cognata (Stadelm.) Woodson, but it lacks, at least at this bud stage, the very unequal calyx lobes associated with that species.
