Hansen & Wunderlin in Taxon 35: 167. 1986 . Notes . – This species was described by LIOGIER (1973) based on two specimens , one with immature flowers and the second with immature fruits. The calyx has colleters which are alternate with the sepals, a character common in Pentalinon Voigt , as well as anthers with filiform and spiraled apical appendages, which are absent in Asketanthera . Foliaceous or subfoliaceous bracts are also found in Pentalinon luteum ( MORALES, 2009 ) . LIOGIER (1973) mentioned that the type was in NY, but without indicating a specific specimen. Two specimens are deposited at NY and I choose the specimen with flower and fruits as the lectotype .
