Nearly allied to P. bahiensis DC., but the leaves are thinner, more abruptly 
acuminate, with rather longer petioles, the panicles more compact, the flowers 
smaller, &c. The leaves in the Columbian specimens are narrower than in those 
from Gorgona, and again, Hartweg gathered on the Magdalena a form with 
broader leaves than either.
