Coccinia suburceolata Cogn., Symb. Antill. (Urban) 1: 450. 1900.

Coccinia suburceolata Type: Haiti. Near Port-au-Prince, in Tête bois de pin, 1800 m, male, fl, Nov, L. Picarda 1498 (Holotype: BR! [BR0000009939141, digital image: JPS], isotypes: B, L, NY, S?).

Remarks.

This plant was found on Haiti and is therefore geographically far away from the natural distribution range of the genus Coccinia . According to the protologue, the tendrils are often trifid and the fruit is spherical and apple-sized, which does not fit to the morphospace of any Coccinia species. Urban (1921) put the specimen and thus species, amongst others, into a new genus: Penelopeia , which has been confirmed by Kocyan et al. (2007).
