i<h e>/*A
Inga edwallii (Harms) T. D. Pennington, as given in The
Genus Inga, 1997. Ovaries 4 by my count, quite separate.
Pennington says “ovary of 1-4 carpels,” which implies a
compound ovary — most misleading. The characters
generally match, though the rachis wing is a little narrower
here; one of the cited synonyms, Affonsea schwebeliana
Harms, came from this same locality. The cylindrical foliar
nectary is distinctive.
