Common in the provinces of Panama and Vcraguas, in sunny places. 
This species has been coUected at Santamarta (Purdie), Essequibo (Schomburgk), Santarem (Spruce), 
and Pernambuco and Piauhy (Gardner). The leaves are used instead of sand-paper, for poUshing iron and 
scrubbing wooden vessels. The tree lias a crooked appearance, an indication of the twining habit of the 
tribe, and reaches the height of about thirty feet.
