Description.
Swinscow and Krog (1981)
,
Timdal and Krog (2001)
.
Distribution.
Africa (
Timdal and Krog 2001
), Asia.
Remarks.
The species (Fig. 7C) was previously known from East Africa and the Mascarenes (
Timdal and Krog 2001
). Although not sequenced, we here report it as new to Asia based on a specimen (Moberg 2750, UPS) from Sri Lanka (Suppl. material 2: Table S1). The species is the phylogenetic sister to
P. parvifolia
(Fig. 1).
