The recently published Pilea trichomanophylla A. K. Monro [see Bull. Nat. Hist. Mus. London (Bot.) 30: 7-11. 2000], then known only from the type collected in Prov. Bocas del Toro, Panama, can now be attributed to Costa Rica. The identification we owe to Manual Urticaceae contributor Alexander ('Popeye') Rodríguez, and the collection (from 1350 m elevation on Fila Matama, on the Atlantic slope of the Cordillera de Talamanca) to the legendary Gerardo Herrera (2658), accompanied by Abelardo Chacón. We had to really scrape the barrel for this one; is the Law of Diminishing Returns finally beginning to kick in for Leaps and Bounds? Watch this column!
