Apparently trees of moderate size, the young branches stout and hollow, densely rubiginous-papillate interspersed-hispid to glabrate. Leaves at maturity deeply 7- to 9-lobed about two-thirds or more to the petiole, deeply amplectant-cordate at the base, about 25-35 cm. long and broad, the median lobe strongly contracted at the base, scaberulous above, paler and densely arachnoid-vilosulose beneath, the petiole about 15-25 cm. long, densely rubiginous-papillate sparsely interspersed- hispidulous; stipules oblong, 8-10 cm. long, densely rubiginous-pulverulent interspersed hispid. Peduncles paired at the nodes, the peduncle somewhat shorter than the subtending petiole, rubiginous-papillate sparsely interspersed-hispidulous. Staminate flowers unknown. Fruits compressed-ovoid, about 1.5 cm. long and 1 cm. broad, densely rubiginous-papillate interspersed-hispidulous.

Note
|
Reminiscent of P. cecropiaefolia Mart. ex Miq. of the Amazon basin, but the leaf lobes are not as deeply divided nor as many as in that species. Shattuck 260 from Barro Colorado Island may represent a juvenile leaf form.
