Description

7. Stenandrium heterotrichum Borhidi, Acta Bot. Acad. Sci. Hung. 23:316. 1978. TYPE.— CUBA. Guantánamo: Playa Aguacate cerca de Maravi, O. de Baracoa, 10 Apr 1960, López Figueiras 586 (holotype: SV [incorporated by HAC]; isotype: BP).

DISCUSSION.— Stenandrium heterotrichum is endemic to Cuba. The protologue mentions peduncles 1– 1.5 mm wide and leaves with short and long hairs (Borhidi and Muñiz 1978) suggestive of an affinity with S. bracteosum and S. carolinae from the Bahamas (cf. Correll and Correll 1982). Corollas of S. heterotrichum are white.
