Quararibea aurantiocalyx W.S. Alverson
EOL Text
Range Description:
In Panama the species is known only from a small subpopulation, containing few mature individuals, in the Cerro Tute in Veraguas. It is a little more widely distributed in Costa Rica, but again few mature individuals exist. Further fieldwork is needed to search for subpopulations in the intervening zone between these two locations.
