DISTRIBUTION. — Endemic to French Guiana.

NOTE

This species is only distinguished from P. amoena by the arrangement of its flowers. The latter are attached to the end of long branches in this species, while in P. amoena the flowers appear cauliflorous on short pseudoracemes. However, in several species (e.g. P. riparia ), the flowers can be either arranged successively along long terminal branches or clustered on short pseudoracemes (Rome & Coppens d’Eeckenbrugge 2019). A genetic and morphological comparison of P.amoena and P. saulensis is therefore necessary.
