. It is partially described here for the first time. The main difference is the length and diameter of the stipes being much longer and thinner than those from the other three species (49-50 mm long and ca. 1 mm in diameter versus 1-30 mm and 2-3 m in diameter). The number of monocarps appears to be higher with 17 to 18 counted in

, versus 3 to 8 in the other species. These observations strongly support the hypothesis that

is indeed a distinct and valid species. In terms of its ecology, observations from

suggest it to occur in primary submontane rain forests, occurring on gentle slopes or top of small mountains.

by M. Fero. It is true that the inflorescences and flowers could potentially match, but the size of the tree (8 m) and leaves are different having a long petiole (&gt; 3 mm). The ecology is also different than described above occurring along the coast on laterite soil. For now we do not consider this specimen as part of
