Moronobea riparia Spruce ex Planchon & Triana 
in Ann. Sci. Nat. sér. 4, 14 (1860) 296. 
Moronobea riparia was described from Spruce 3350, 
collected along the Casiquiare in 1854. It has possibly 
not been re-collected until recently. Because of its rela- 
tively short and broad leaves, Schultes 9857 may perhaps 
be found to represent a distinct variety. F’rdes 21352 and 
Schultes & Pires 9060 appear to be the only records of 
this species from Brazil, while Schultes & Lopez 9382, a 
topotypic collection, is the first from Colombian territory.
