    Distribution and Ecology - BRAZIL. Amapa: Rio Oiapoque, Irwin, Pires, & Westra 47615, 47925; Rio Araguari, Pires, Rodrigues, & Irvine 50744, 50889. SURINAME. Wilhelmina Gebergte, Lucie R., Prance, Soderstrom, & Holmgren 55368.

  • Discussion

    A riverine tree widely distributed in northern South America. Although apparently poorly represented in Guiana as a whole, it was found to occur frequently on both the Rios Oiapoque and Araguari. An earlier collection, Froes 26682, established the presence of this species on the Rio Oiapoque.
