Remarks

The most diagnostic aspect of this new species of Matelea Aublet s. str. is the lobed, then fimbriate outer margin of the outer corona. (vide abstract). Etymology. The specific epithet is an allusion to its corona, which is divided (radially) into five distinct lobes, and each of these lobes is more or less divided into three lobules.
