Specimen CHIRIQUI: Boquete Region, Cerro Horqueta, cloud forest, alt. 1950 In., April 17, 1940, von Hagen d von Hagen 2009 (Herb. Missouri Bot. Gard., TYPE); April 27, 1940, von Hagen d von Hagen 2058.
Note The broadly elliptic, somewhat rugose leaves, and bistigmatic, rather long- styled fruit distinguish this species. It differs from P. Davidsonii because of the shape of the larger, rugose, more abruptly acuminate leaves, 5-nerved on each side.
