    Capoeira alta de terra firme.

  • Description

    Árvore de 15 m de altura. Phenology of specimen: Sterile.

  • Collection Notes

    The leaves of this sterile specimen are a better match for C. oblongifolia than they are for C. multiflora. This was pointed out to me by L. Procopio and I agree with her conclusion. S. A. Mori, 27 Nov 2009.

  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Assumed road PA-112 to be "Estrada Sul," since it is the only road which leads directly south from the city of Bragança. Georeferenced to an offset of approximately 8 km along road PA-112 from the city of Bragança in Mun. Bragança, Pará. Used Google Maps - Earth View to find the road which leads south from the city of Bragança, PA-112. Beginning at the start of road PA-112 in Bragança (intersection of PA-112 and BR-308), used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure approximately 8 km (8.0 km) southward. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the offset along this road. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent of the starting location, in this case the city of Bragança, by measuring from the approximate geographic center of the city to the nearest named place, the city of Acarajó, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (2.775 km), distance precision (1 km), and measurement error (.0025 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
