Notes: This species has a generally robust habit, well developed, verticillate, obovate leaves that are subsessile and shortly rounded to truncate the base, cymose often expansive inflorescences that are borne with or below the leaves, and rather small flowers. The leaves are markedly narrowed in the lower portion, and sometimes appear to have a long petiole but this is winged and here considered an attenuate leaf base. Hoffmannia amplexifolia is similar to Hoffmannia subauriculata, with opposite leaves and generally shorter inflorescences.
Distribution: At 800-2000 m, Costa Rica and Panama.
