Species ANDERSSONIOPIPER PANAMENSE Trel.
PlaceOfPublication Proc. Amer. Phil. Soc. 73:329, pl. b. 1934.
Description Apparently a moderate-sized half-shrub, glabrous; internodes 8 X 100 mm. long below, shorter and slenderer upward; leaves subreniform, typically abruptly short-acuminate, palmately 13- or 15-nerved with all of the nerves somewhat fine-branched, 10-15 cm. wide X 9-12 cm. long, drying thin, paler beneath; petiole 3-6 cm. long, winged; spikes 2 (or more?), superposed in the axil, curved, in fruit 10 X 100 mm.; peduncle scant 2 X 10 mm.; bracts vague; achenes [drupes?] obpyramidal, the contracted apex protrud- ing; stigmas 3, broad, sessile.
Distribution Panama.
Note Known only from the type specimen collected by N. J. Andersson, Apr. 1852, now in the Botanical Museum of Stockholm. No other specimen of this interesting species has been seen, and there is some question regarding its oc- currence in Panama. The above description is copied from that of Prof. Trelease who further states: there are reported contradictions in the labeling of Andersson's collections, so that while its characters are firmly established, the exact geographic source of Anderssoniopiper Panamense the genus now named for him requires confirmation."
