A revision of Geonoma (Arecaceae) Author Henderson, Andrew text Phytotaxa 2011 2011-02-18 17 1 271 journal article 24911 10.11646/phytotaxa.17.1 65962ba7-eec1-40e7-aed6-cef94e99ca39 1179-3163 3538362 49h. Geonoma pinnatifrons subsp. ramosissima (Burret) Henderson , comb. & stat. nov. Basionym: Geonoma ramosissima Burret (1930a: 249) . Type: COLOMBIA . Antioquia : Cieneguetas, 27 July 1880 , W. Kalbreyer 1892 ( holotype B, destroyed). Neotype (selected by Bernal et al. 1989 ): COLOMBIA . Antioquia : Mun. Frontino, Corregimiento de Murrí, road from Nutibara to La Blanquita, Río Cuevas, 950 m , 23 March 1982 , R. Bernal & G. Galeano 306 ( neotype COL!, isoneotype NY!). Leaf pinnae 15(12–17) per side of rachis. Inflorescences peduncular bracts inserted 1.3(1.0–1.5) cm above the prophyll; peduncles 19.3(16.5–22.0) cm long, 18.2(15.2–21.2) mm in diameter; rachillae 11.4(7.0–16.0) cm long, 1.6(1.1–2.3) mm in diameter; fruits 3.8(3.5–4.0) mm in diameter. Distribution:— From 3°55’– 7°00’N and 75°54’– 77°37’W on the Pacific Coast and western slopes of the Western Cordillera in Colombia , at 427(0–1150) m elevation in lowland to montane rainforest ( Fig. 32 ). There is geographic discontinuity but too few specimens to test for differences, and too few to test for geographical variation. Three specimens ( Bernal 306, Betancur 2818, Forero 7370) from higher elevations on the western slopes of the Western Cordillera appear intermediate between this subspecies and G. interrupta subsp. magnifica , and may represent hybrids. They have the flower pits densely hairy internally distally only, as in G. interrupta .
