Editing Cecropia (section)

===Similar species===
''[[Pourouma bicolor]]'' is very similar in appearance to the ''Cecropia'', with its umbrella-shaped leaves, stilt roots, large leaves with wide lobes, and whitish color on the underside.<ref name="BRD"/> The distinctions between the two, however, are: the [[Petiole (botany)|petiole]] attaches at the base of the leaf rather than at the center of the leaf like ''Cecropia'' and ''Pourouma'' has leaf lobes that are triangular and pointed at the tip, whereas most ''Cecropia'' are rounded.<ref name="BRD"/>
