Remarks
doi:10.3417/2022730 Etymology: the specific epithet is a compound word from the Greek 'rhachis' (spine, backbone, ridge, axis, stem, or stalk) and 'pterygion', diminutive of 'pteryx' (wing), which together allude to the perpendicular lateral leaves along the main stems below the first branches that appear to be wings.
