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.
