Rollinia pittieri, Safford. A tree resembling R. deliciosa, but with lvs. more abruptly acuminate and glaucous beneath, the vegetative ones 6-8 in. long and 3-3 2/5 in. broad, midrib and primary nerves (16-20 on each side) reddish brown beneath: lvs. on flowering branches smaller (with 10-12 primary nerves): peduncles often in clusters of 3 or 4, graduated in length, the longest 1 2/5 in. long, rufous, minutely puberulent, never hairy like those of R. deliciosa, bracteolate near the middle: corolla-wings 3/5-4/5in. long, falcate, horizontally extended and decurved, rounded at extremity, and narrowed at the base, very finely puberulent, appearing under the lens as though composed of olive-gray felt: fr. not observed.—A beautiful species with elliptical or obovate lvs. remarkable for the pale color of the lower surface and the sharply outlined lateral nerves. These correspond with the description of R. rufinerva, Triana and Planch., but the corolla-wings are decurved, not "divergent ascending," as in that species. The type, in the U. S. National Herbarium, was collected near Puerto Obaldia, Panama, by Henry Pittier (No. 4358), in whose honor the species is named.
