<div type="discussion"><p>A variable species including several morphological forms. The typical form, growing in pre-montane and montane wet forest on the west- Andean slopes, has black spines, narrowly wedge shaped, usually grouped pinnae, and pendulous inflorescence branches with a long basal flowerless part. Plants from premontane moist forest in NW Ecuador have yellow spines and inflorescence branches with a short flowerless part. Finally, plants from lowland wet forest in NW Ecuador have almost strap shaped, regularly inserted pinnae, inflorescences with many thin branches and tiny flowers.</p></div>
