The Cutting Edge

Volume XXVI, Number 3, July 2019

News and Notes | Leaps and Bounds | Germane Literature | Season's Pick

Amphitecna latifolia(Mill.) A. H. Gentry (Bignoniaceae) has been chosen for this season's photo essay, not for being particularly unusual or spectacular, but rather for where we photographed and collected it: the streets of Puntarenas!

Amphitecna latifolia (Mill.) A. H. Gentry

As far as we can tell, no recent flora from our region mentions the cultivation of this sp. as an ornamental, and of the ca. 200 records on TROPICOS only two are said to be from cultivated individuals, and those at a botanical garden. At least for this coastal town, it seems a particularly appropriate and elegant use for the sp. See more images at Hammel's Flickr site.
