  • Discussion

    This poorly known species was described from material collected near Santarem, Brazil (Ducke RB 18818) and in Pando, Bolivia (Prance et al 6532) (Fig. 70). One collection from Manaus, originally assigned to this species, belongs to Licania impressa Prance. Rodrigues & Loureiro 7236 (INPA 15798) is actually the latter species.
