Remarks

doi:10.11646/phytotaxa.425.1.5 The specific epithet refers to the sub-watershed of Rio das Pedras, where the new species was collected, translated from old Amerindian Tupi language 'itaipe' of the Tamoios tribe. They had a tribe chief called Cunhambebe, whose name was given to the park where the holotype was encountered.
