Discussion:
Very variable, especially in floral dimensions. This species is well recorded in Suriname and French Guiana, but has been known to the West only through a few collections in interior British Guiana (Kanuku Mts., Smith 3479; Mazaruni Station, Forest Dept, of British Guiana 3274) and one in Colombia (Schultes & Cabrera 19072). The Amapa material, together with earlier collections from Para (Belem, Ducke 1715; Rio Guama, Pires 626), departs considerably from other materials of the area; the leaflets and calyx are considerably larger. The new Venezuelan and Brazilian records suggest a general occurrence of the species throughout Guiana.
