[105] Aspidosperma sp. A

NOTE. — Six collections at CAY were identified in 2003 by J.F. Morales as A. spruceanum Benth. ex Müll.Arg. However , the long petioles and abaxially glabrous, shiny leaves of the specimens do not agree with the original diagnosis and type of A. spruceanum , which has very short petioles and leaves bearing a silvery indument abaxially. None of the collections identified as A. spruceanum at CAY, whether by J.F. Morales or anyone else, displays this combination of characters.

HERBARIUM DATA ( FG). — 12 collections at CAY. Sel. exs.: D. Sabatier & M.-F. Prévost 3016.

INVENTORY DATA (FG). — 199 trees in 47 plots; Fmax = 4.1 %; dbhinv = 66.9 cm.
