Gynoecium 3.2-6.0 cm long; ovary 1.8-3.6 × 0.8-1.6, cylindrical, not-sulcate, smooth, densely pubescent, with simple and dentritic trichomes, sparsely lepidote, with glandular peltate trichomes, without patelliform glandular trichomes; stigma capitate or ovate, 1.6-3.1 × 0.9-3.5 mm; nectar disc 0.4-1.9 × 0.5-4.0 mm. Capsule fusiform, inflated (slightly flattened), 8.0-26.0 × 1.5-3.6 cm, each valve with a conspicuous and raised longitudinal midline; seeds irregularly circular and obcordate, 2.8-4.4 × 1.4-3.0 cm, thick, corky, striated, secondary sculpture with two pairs of medium micropores on each striation, wingless.

Distribution.

This species is typically found in wet and often flooded forest vegetation in Belize (Toledo), Costa Rica ( Limón, Puntarenas), Guatemala (Izabal), Honduras ( Atlántida, Cólon), Nicaragua ( Atlántico Sur, San Juan), Panama (Bocas del Toro, Colón, Darién, Panama), Bolívia (Beni), Brazil (Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima), Colombia (Amazonas, Antioquia, Bolívar, Chocó), French Guiana (Cayenne), Guyana (Cuyuni-Mazaruni, Upper Demerara-Berbice, Venezuela), Peru (Amazonas, Huánuco, Loreto, Madre de Dios), Suriname and Venezuela (Amazonas, Apure, Bolívar, Delta Amacuro).

Phenology.

This species flowers and fruits throughout the year.

Etymology.

The specific epithet is derived from vernacular name “kéréré” or “téréré” adopted by the indigenous group Galibis, from French Guiana, who use this plant as rope material.

Nomenclatural note.

The original description of this species by Aublet (1775) included a mistake in the fruit illustration and description, which consists of the description of Amphilophium magnollifolium (Kunth) L.G. Lohmann instead.

Bignonia benensis was described by Britton (1990) based on a collection by Rusby 1143. This material cannot be considered a holotype because it was not cited in the protologue. Two related specimens are deposited at NY and US and one at MICH. Although there are two materials deposited at NY, only one is original material. The the other specimen is a duplicate that was originally deposited at the College of Pharmacy Herbarium, where Britton worked. Materials from this herbarium were only later incorporated into the NY collection along with other items. Therefore, the specimen originally deposited at NY (NY313133) is here designated as lectotype.

Taxonomic comments.

Pachyptera kerere is easily recognised by the infundibuliform, white to cream corollas, with densely pubescent ovary. The fusiform, woody, inflated (sometimes slightly flattened) fruit, with a conspicuous and raised longitudinal midline, is very distinctive. The seeds are irregularly circular and obcordate, corky and wingless.

Pachyptera kerere shares infundibuliform corollas with P. incarnata and P. linearis . However, P. kerere can be differentiated by the densely pubescent ovary (vs. sparsely pubescent ovary of P. linearis and densely lepidote ovary in P. incarnata ). Furthermore, P. kerere is easily separated from P. incarnata by the white corolla (vs. light pink to pale purple corolla of P. incarnata ).
