  • Discussion

    The peeling outer layer of JAS 75065 is brown, not white. The specimen matches the description given by Gonzalez and Rogers (1989) for Mexico better than that given by Rogers et al. (1988) for Cerro de la Neblina. The germ slit in the collection J A S 75065 is somewhat less than fuU length. Dennis (1956: fig. 23). Rogers et al. (1988: fig. 67).
