  • Family

    Chrysobalanaceae

  • Scientific Name

    Licania leptostachya Benth.

  • Distribution

    (Fig. 56). This species, common along river margins in the Guianas and northern Para, has recently been found to be disjunct in Atlantic Coastal Brazil, where it also grows on river margins. This adds yet another Amazonian-Bahian disjunct, similar in distribution to Licania cymosa which, however, is rarer in Amazonia.
