Conejo y alrededores frente a la Quebrada Conejo, alt. 300 m. ‘‘Nombre

Mayna pacifica Cuatrecasas var. pusilla R. EF. 
Schultes var. nov. 
Frutex parvus, usque ad tres pedes altus, ab Mayna 
pacifica specialiter foliis minoribus (usque ad 85 cm. 
longis et 11 cm. latis), infra glabris atque fructu minore 
(solum 4 em. longo et 2.5-8 cm. in diametro) cum alis 
membranaceis profunde fimbriato-dentatis differt. In 
provincia Choc6é nomen vulgaris: ‘‘clavo.”’ 
This newly described variety differs from Mayna pa- 
cifica Cuartr. in being much smaller in all its parts and, 
most conspicuously, in having elaborate and deeply fim- 
briate wings on the fruit. In Mayna pacifica, the fruit is 
two and one half times as long as in var. pusilla and the 
wings are strongly and irregularly dentate, not approach- 
ing the echino-fimbriate condition found in var. pusilla. 
Mayna pacifica var. brachycarpa Cuatr. is also larger 
than var. pusilla, and the wings of its fruit are barely 
conspicuous. 
Mayna pacifica and the var. brachycarpa are native to 
the Pacific slopes of the cordillera in the Departamentos 
del Cauca and Valle, respectively, slightly south of the 
general region of Quibd6, where the type of var. pusilla 
was collected.
