Notes.

In the protologue the fruits were not described as these were not known at that time. This rare, locally endemic species has since been collected in fruit (Stival-Santos 678, BR), and we here provide a description of these. Fruits sessile but with a narrow pseudo-stipitate base, dehiscent along both slightly thickened sutures, the valves plano-compressed, papery in texture, light brown with finely prominent transverse veins, 6.5-12 × 1.2-1.6 cm, 7-12-seeded when well-fertilized.
