Toward a phylogenetic-based Generic Classification of Neotropical Lecythidaceae- I. Status of Bertholletia, Corythophora, Eschweilera and Lecythis Huang, Ya-Yi Mori, Scott A. Kelly, Lawrence M. Phytotaxa 2015 2015-03-23 203 2 85 121 6P5VT O. Berg 1858 [136,332,158,185] Magnoliopsida Lecythidaceae Lecythis Plantae Ericales 14 99 Tracheophyta species poiteaui  Species of the  Lecythis poiteauiclade that are not bee pollinated are  Lecythis barnebyiS. A. Mori (1981a: 360)( Fig. 6A) and  L. poiteaui. These two species are nocturnal and bats have been observed taking nectar from their flowers; thus, they are presumed to be bat-pollinated ( Mori & Prance, 1990). These two species also possess similar cuticular papillae on the abaxial leaf blade surface (character 5), a massive number of stamens (character 34; Fig. 6A, B), open androecia (character 33; Figs. 6A, B), petals not pressed against the androecium ( Fig. 6A), and the presence of at least some anthers (or possibly antherodes) on the hood (character 32). Mori (1990b)placed  L. brancoensis(R. Knuth 1939: 84) S. A. Mori (1981a: 359), along with the two other bat-pollinated species, in  Lecythissect. Poiteaui, and this relationship was supported by Huang et al. (2011). In contrast, this study places  L. brancoensisin the  Lecythis chartaceaclade. Thus, if  L. brancoensisis found to be bat-pollinated as suggested by Mori (1990b), our results indicate that bat pollination may have evolved twice in New World Lecythidaceae.
