Notes.

Byrsonima currently comprises 164 accepted species (49 threatened species; Suppl. material 1) of trees, shrubs, or subshrubs endemic to most biomes of the Neotropical region from swamps in the State of Florida ( USA) to rainforests, savannas, dry forests, and grasslands of Southern Brazil ( Almeida et al. 2020; POWO 2024). Two subgenera are currently recognised in Byrsonima (subg. Byrsonima and subg. Macrozeugma Nied.), but neither is monophyletic ( Francener 2016). There is no updated identification key for all species of Byrsonima , but for regional treatments, see Anderson (1981) for the Guyana Highland, Almeida et al. (2020) for Brazil, Pool (in prep.) for Mesoamerica, and Anderson (2016) for North America.
