  P. andreana Mast, was treated as a synonym of P. bauhinifolia in my monograph. Specimens collected by Garcia-Barriga and Balls in southwestern Colombia in 1939 show that these two species are unquestionably distinct. In P. andreana the inside of the sepals and the petals are purple, reddish purple, or deep violet; in P. bauhinifolia these parts are white. The outer corona filaments are slenderer in P. andreana.
