Glossary (beta!)

Origin/Endemic status: Endemic

Taxonomy Comments: Small afforded this taxon species rank (Odontonychia erecta; Small 1933), while modern authors have placed it into synonymy into a broader P. erecta (Hartman et al. 2005). There seems to be enough morphological evidence to at least support this taxon at varietal rank, although more study is needed.
