Family Rubiaceae, genus Palicourea, this is the closest match to this plant, hope I helped ;)
Ah okay, no problem. I had a great time in the area of these spottings too.
Yes , Dan I am aware that these spottings are far from there. Misplaced comments on my part!!
Thanks Jemma. That's for sure, love the Amazon, but these latest spottings are far from there.
Your pics of plants are superb. Looks like you really had a great time in the Amazon!!
