Humiriastrum spiritu-sancti Cuatrec., Ciencia, Mexico 23(4): 137. 1964. Type: BRAZIL. Espírito Santo, Mun. de Santa Tereza: Lombardia, 25 Jan 1954, G. Dalcolmo s.n. (holotype: RB-86212; isotype: US-2827596).
Notes.
Humiriastrum spiritu-sancti was poorly known until recent ample collections allowed a fuller characterization. Giordano and Bove (2008) described its thecae as unilocular, ovary cells as uniovulate, and fruits as having five apical foramina. The transfer here to Vantanea is supported by anther structure that we interpret as two lateral bisporangiate thecae with internal septa (Fig. 3D View Figure 3 ; see Results), two superposed ovules per locule (Fig. 3F View Figure 3 ), apparent lack of foramina, as well as previously reported pollen details (Bove and Melham 2000), and preliminary molecular phylogenetic placement (Zartman et al., unpublished data). Upon examination of endocarps from Amorim et al. 1391 (US-3258470, as sectioned for Herrera et al. 2010), as well as the illustration from Giordano and Bove (2008), we could not find well-developed apical foramina that otherwise characterize Humiriastrum . Furthermore, the androecial bauplan of V. spiritu-sancti with a low number of alternating-length stamens is similar to that of V. depleta .
