Glossary (beta!)

Origin/Endemic status: Endemic

Taxonomy Comments: Though Chaudhri (1968) and Ward (1977a and 1977b) independently reached the conclusion to reduce P. riparia to a subspecies of P. baldwinii, neither stated any reasons for their choice of subspecific status. I here follow the independent conclusions of Chaudhri and Ward, but the appropriate taxonomic rank remains unclear.
