Triana 2947, in part (BM, HNC). Penon, Goudot (P). Sasaima,
Perez 2023 (N).
From P. trisulca, to which it appears to be most closely related,
this species differs in having less deeply lobed leaves with the lobes
obtuse, and short, thick petiolar glands.
Apparently two species are represented by Triana 2947. The
plant at Geneva is P. subpeltata Ort., but that at the British Museum
is quite distinct. A specimen of Triana's in the Herbario Nacional
Colombiano, from "Prov. de Bogota, cerca del Hospicio," is clearly
a part of the collection represented in the British Museum. Triana
and Planchon cited No. 2947 as P. stipulata (P. subpeltata, not
P. stipulata Aubl.). Triana 2946, the type of P. atomaria, is also
P. subpeltata.
