Matisia dolichosiphon is a tree in the mallow family (Malvaceae), known only from Panama. Little is documented about its cultivation, so care is largely unknown outside its native wet tropical habitat.
Matisia dolichosiphon is a species of flowering plant in the Malvaceae family. It is a tree found only in Panama. It was first published as Quararibea dolichosiphon in Bull. Jard. Bot. Natl. Belg. 40: 353 (1970) by A.Robyns & S.Nilsson. In 1989 William Surprison Alverson placed the species in the genus Matisia as Matisia dolichosiphon.
