Description: click here.
Taxonomic Notes:
- Catopsis paniculata E.Morr. Type: Makoy Hortus s n (LG? n v). The Morren Icon cited by Baker is evidently drawn from this plant of which no herbarium specimen appears to have been kept.
Syn.: Catopsis pendula Baker Type: Morren Icon (K)
That means that if there is no Makoy Hort. s.n. specimen that Smith did a lectotypification for C. paniculata and C. pendula is a homotypic synonym.
