Summary Following the break-up of the Neotropical genus Licania into eight genera, an overlooked homonym was found. Therefore, the new name, Moquilea magnifructa Sothers & Prance, is here proposed for Moquilea macrocarpa (Cuatrec.) Sothers & Prance.
Summary Licania, currently the most species-rich genus of Chrysobalanaceae, is confined to the Neotropics, and is highly polyphyletic in molecular phylogenetic analyses. These studies show that the three subgenera of Licania, as well as sections within them, are not supported as monophyletic. Here we re-delimit the genus using a molecular phylogenetic analysis as a framework. We recognise the following...
Small to large trees; rarely shrubs; axis with cortical vascular bundles. Leaves alternate, simple, margins usually entire (opposite and clustered in one species of Abdulmajidia), pinnately nerved; stipules absent or minute and caducous. Inflorescences terminal, axillary or cauline, simple racemes, panicles with 2 or 3 orders of racemose or spicate branches or fascicles. Flowers actinomorphic or zygomorphic,...
Trees, shrubs or suffrutices; young axis with cortical vascular bundles. Leaves alternate, simple, entire or serrate, pinnately nerved; stipules absent. Inflorescences usually of solitary, axillary flowers, less frequently in cauline fascicles or axillary panicles; 4–7 bracts subtending each flower, often with paired glands on abaxial surface. Flowers large, actinomorphic, hermaphrodite; sepals (2)3...
Four new species ofRoupala are described:R. psilocarpa andR. nonscripta from Brazil,R. mexicana from Mexico, andR. filiflora from Bolivia. Their relationships within the genus are discussed.
