Comments: —Although Bernacci et al. (2014) mentioned few similarities between P. rupestris and P. pohlii , they stated the following differences: “smaller chartaceous leaves without ocelli, shorter petioles and stipules, much longer inner corona filaments, and a smooth operculum”. Except from the operculum, the other characters are not conservative, presenting wide variation within a species. As such, P. rupestris is recognized here as a synonym of P. pohlii , as it does not have distinct diagnostic characteristics, and all of its characteristics are within the range of variation of the latter species ( Table 1 ).
