    This huge bush-rope is known only from the type collection made in the virgin high forest on terra firme in the vicinity of Manaus. With the recent completion of the construction of a road from Manaus to Itacoatiara it could doubtless be easily recollected in the high forest on terra firme along this road (see under S. pachycarpa).
