(R.M.Schust.) Gradst., Lima & Ilk.
-Borg., a small group of about ten species including three in the Neotropics (Lima

wide, with caducous leaf lobes, ocelli in leaf lobes (and sometimes in underleaves), and small, distant underleaves.Within this group,
F.trigona
stands out by scattered ocelli in leaves but not in underleaves, margins of leaves and underleaves distantly crenulate by projecting trigones,underleaves scarcely wider than the stem, and female bracts and bracteoles with entire margins. The species is only known from the
