Nota. Species 3 inter sese valde affines et aegre definiendae, Pamphüia styracifolia 

 foliis subtus multo densius pubescentibus, petiolis saepe pro rata zt longioribus gaudet; Pam- 

 phüia aurea Mart. vero foliis minus pubescentibus petiolis brevioribus vel brevissimis distincta 

 este videtur. Dubito an species ambae posthac in speciem unam collectivam conjungendae sint.
