Note
|
Standley (1938) remarked that ". . . in most herbaria (it) is represented by more specimens than perhaps any other tropical member of the family. Oddly enough I have not seen any herbarium material from the Province of Chiriqui, Panama; undoubtedly it occurs there." "Uasika" (Cuna, fide Standley).
