REMARKS

Schlechter (1906) distinguished Pancheria engleriana var. potamophila (meaning river-loving) from var. engleriana by its somewhat larger leaves and longer peduncles; in addition var. potamophila was found at low altitude where as var. engleriana usually occurs above 700 m. Of the two syntypes, 15134 matches Schlechter’s intentions more closely, and hence is designated as the lectotype, since its leaves are similar in shape to those of the syntypes of P. engleriana var. engleriana but some are slightly larger. However, this specimen falls within the range of morphological variation of P. engleriana over
