Notes: This species can be recognized by its short deciduous stipules that are spathulate and truncate to rounded with deciduous glandes along their margins, together with medium-sized leaves that are shortly petiolate, shortly rounded to obtuse at the base, and lack crypt domatia; few-flowered cymose pedunculate inflorescences with well developed axes; tubular rather well developed calyx limbs; white corollas with a well developed linear appendage on the tip of each lobe; and white subglobose fruits. Rudgea trifurcata is similar to Rudgea skutchii, and these may not be distinct. Rudgea trifurcata is also similar to Rudgea monofructus, which has solitary larger flowers and fruits. An isotype specimen of Rudgea trifurcata was reported in the protologue as deposited at MO, but this specimen has not yet been distributed from CR.
Distribution: Wet forest at 50-500 m in north-central Costa Rica.
