This member of the
Malpighiaceae family was given this name by August
Heinrich Rudolf Grisebach and Anders Sandø Ørsted in 1853. It is found
in Belize,
Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico,
Nicaragua and Panama, growing in a well drained soil with
quite some water and lots of sun. The caudex might grow to 40
centimetres in diameter, the entire plant perhaps to six metres in
height. The
flowers are yellow. The
genera name from Greek stigma; 'thorn' or 'point' and
phyllon; 'leaf'; referring to the broad, leafy stigma. The
species name means 'rounded and notched tip' for the leaves. |
