M. Wercklei, Schum., Costa Rica, is recently recorded in horticultural literature: sarmentose evergreen shrub with edible tuberous root- stock, sometimes epiphytic: lvs. ovate: fls. in terminal corymbs, like gloxinia in form, corolla 3 in. long and 2 in. across, fragrant, white changing to sulfur-yellow.
