Good point, and worth a look by Eduardo, although
again depending on just subtle leaf shape might not be
enough, especially if Eduardo is seeing a continuum of
leaf shapes for this 'old' P. williamsii/P. stenolobum
in the local area. I'll take more pics of the 'old' P.
williamsii/P. stenolobum - perhaps this 'mystery' can
be solved.
