Masters cites another Martius specimen, from Ega, on the upper
Amazon. I have not seen this, and am rather doubtful that this
species occurs in that region. The two specimens in the Martius
Herbarium at Brussels are labeled "Tacsonia(?) Mansii Mart.,
Cuiaba, Prov. Goyaz, legit Manso," and "Mart. Herb. Fl. Bras. 276,
prope Cuiaba, Febr. 1832."
The notes of some collectors state that this is an erect shrub 1 to
1.5 meters high, the added observation being sometimes made that
it is subscandent toward the summit. Most of the specimens examined
are without vestige of tendrils, but in a few cases (Dusen
8831) well developed tendrils are present. A note on the Mexia
specimen, which is without tendrils, states that the plant was a
woody vine, climbing on a tree to a height of 8 meters.
