. These are the only two species in the genus to present the upper third of filaments and style, and the anthers in the same color as the petals, contrasting greatly with the white base of filaments and style, and the white ovary of other species. Nevertheless, both species can be easily differentiated using vegetative or reproductive characters. One specimen (
<emphasis italics="true" pageId="26" pageNumber="27">L.E. Mello-Filho 1171</emphasis>
) is peculiar in being the only specimen with light-colored flowers. In the label, it is described by the collector as possessing white flowers. Nonetheless, while analyzing the duplicates available at R, RB, SPF and US, we noticed that a few flowers possessed pale pink pigment (particularly noticeable in the petals and stamens). We believe that these specimens might represent albino or semialbino individuals, and thus merit no taxonomic status, especially since they were collected at the same place and date as the remaining dark-flowered specimens.

stamens 6 or 5 + the upper one modified into a staminode, anthers basifixed, 3 to 4 times longer than the filaments, dehiscent by introrse slits, but functionally poricidal, anthers sacs parallel, elongate, and inconspicuous connectives). All these floral characters can be easily observed with the dissection of mature flower buds in herbarium specimens. The floral morphology of
