Found in Cuba, Puerto Rico and Colombia? with 3 to 5, basal, rosulate, lanceolate to oblong lanceolate, acute to acuminate, shortly petiolate base leaves with the uppermost above the base of the stem, ovate and sessile that blooms on an erect, tyerminal, peduncle to 12.8" [32 cm] long, provided and covered by several, partially imbricating sheathing bracts, rachis to 8" [20 cm] long, loosely many-flowered inflorescence with ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, glandular-hairy, shorter than the ovary floral bracts.

"This species was considered as conspecific with !Ponthieva racemosa by several researchers (D’Arcy, 1987; Bogarín et al., 2014); however, both species differ in flower morphology. In P. glandulosa the petals are unguiculate, glabrous on the margin and the lip apical part is deltoid or sagittate." Szlach. & Kolan. 2018
