 41. T. panamensis Pittier in Gontr. U. S. Nat. Herb. XX. (1918) 129. — »A shrub, 

 1 — 3 m high, the stem erect, unbranched. Leaves glabrous, bunched at the ends of the 

 stems, at first drooping and intensely pinkish, later spreading or ascending and green, 

 the rachis subterete, 29— 33 cm long. Leaflets 5 — 7, coriaceous, subopposite or alter- 

 nate, the petiolules ^ thickened, canaliculate, 0,5 — 1,5 cm long, the blades oblong, 

 cuneate at the base, abruptly acuminate at the apex, 12 — 21 cm long, 4,5 — 6 cm broad, 

 dark green and lustrous above, the costa and veins impressed, beneath paler, conspicu- 

 ously reticulate, the costa and veins very prominent. Inflorescence cauline, racemose, 

 loose, subpendulous, usually 3-fasciculate, the rachis angular, pubescent, 4 — 10 cm 

 long, sometimes branched at the base. Flowers 2 — 6 together on a short common 

 peduncle, white, the pedicels about 1 mm long. Calyx tubulär, 4 — 5 mm long, densely 

 minute-pubescent without, 5-toothed. Petals 5, linear-cuneiform, obtuse, about 6 mm 

 long, glabrous, reflexed, bearing inside a hairy, bifid, erect, slightly longer appendage 

 inserted above the claw. Disk cupulate, 1,5 mm high, hairy. Stamens 8, glabrous, the 

 filaments 4 mm long, erect, the anthers introrse. Ovary 3-celled, stigma 3-lobulate, 

 hairy, sessile.« 



In Panama: H. Pittier n. 6534 (forests around Pinogana, Southern Darien; 

 m. April. 1914). 



»This species belongs to the section Eutalisia, subsection Acladodea Radlk., cha- 

 racterised by having the petals markedly longer than the sepals, and the disk high 

 and formed of 5 thick connate scales, and by the large leaves. It seems to be closely 

 related to T. stricto. Triana et Planch., from which it differs by the glabrous leaves, 

 petals and stamens. T. panamensis grows scattered on small, lightly wooded hüls in 

 the forests of Darien, where it is easily detected on account of the peculiar appearance 

 of its young leaves. It is the second representative of the genus reported from Pa- 

 nama, the first one, T. nervosa Radlk., having also been discovered by me, in 1911, 

 on the Atlantic seaboard.«
