Couepia ovalifolia is similar to C. belemii (see comments under this species). The taxon is also similar to C. schottii, as both form the “ C. ovalifolia species group ”, and are distinguished by only a few morphological characters such as the lamina shape, size, the number of primary veins and petiole length (Prance 1972). Couepia ovalifolia usually has smaller leaves, a lower number of primary veins and shorter petiole, but these characters overlap with C. schottii in some of the analyzed material. To better delimit these taxa, further studies on other characters is necessary.

Exellodendron gracile can be recognized by the arachnoid surfaces (young branches, young leaves, petiole), primary veins of leaves not prominent, the swollen subcampanulate receptacle and stipitate fruit. Collected with flowers January, June and December, and fruits from March to June and August. This species is endemic to the Atlantic Forest, in the states of Bahia and EspÍrito Santo (Sothers & Prance 2023 c). In EspÍrito Santo it occurs in Mata de Tabuleiro and Restinga, in Aracruz, Conceição da Barra, Linhares, Pinheiros and Santa Teresa municipalities. Brasil (2022) assessed the species as “ Endangered ” (EN) to Brazil. This species was recorded in five protected areas (Estação Biológica Caixa D’Água, Reserva Biológica de Comboios, Reserva Biológica Córrego do Veado, Reserva Natural Vale, Floresta Nacional do Rio Preto) and is not threatened in the state. It was described by Kuhlmann and illustrated by Nilton Leal as Parinarium gracile in Kuhlmann (1938), a book which is difficult to access, using a specimen collected in Linhares municipality. The illustration is reproduced here (Fig. 5). Prance (1972) transferred the species to Exellodendron but did not illustrate it. The common names for this species are águafria (I. A. Silva 377), azeitona-preta (V. Souza 210), milho-torrado (G. L. Farias 61) and oiti (Kuhlmann 1938).	en	Barros, Natália, Menezes, Luis Fernando Tavares de, Sothers, Cynthia, Peixoto, Ariane Luna (2025): Flora of Espírito Santo: Chrysobalanaceae.

Prance, H. racemosa var. hispida Prance and H. racemosa var. racemosa, but as the characters overlap in the material examined, this classification is not adopted here. Hirtella racemosa can be recognized by the sparsely hispid to glabrous branches, larger leaves with cuneate base, glabrous to sparsely hispid margin, hispid petiole and stipules, racemose inflorescence and bracteoles with sessile glands. Collected with flowers from October to February, and fruits in November and December. This species has a wide distribution, from North to South America (Prance & Sothers 2003 b). In Brazil it has already been recorded in all the states of the North, Northeast and Central-West regions, and EspÍrito Santo, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro in the Southeast region (Asprino 2023; Barros et al. 2022). In EspÍrito Santo it occurs in Restinga, Ombrophilous forest and Mata de Tabuleiro, in Barra de São Francisco, Conceição da Barra, Governador Lindenberg, Linhares, Marilândia and Vila Pavão municipalities. This species was assessed as Least Concern (LC) at a national level, but for the state of EspÍrito Santo it is assessed as Endangered (EN) (Oliveira & Messina 2012; Fraga et al. 2019). It is represented by a few collections spread throughout the state and was collected in three protected areas: Parque Natural Municipal Sombra da Tarde, Reserva Biológica do Córrego Grande and Reserva Natural Vale, which confirms the EN status.	en	Barros, Natália, Menezes, Luis Fernando Tavares de, Sothers, Cynthia, Peixoto, Ariane Luna (2025): Flora of Espírito Santo: Chrysobalanaceae.

Hymenopus heteromorphus var. heteromorphus is quite different from the other taxa occurring in the state. The flowers and its structures are reduced, especially the included stamens. In some exsiccatae there are pedicellate and sessile flowers in the same inflorescence. The slightly discolorous leaves and the hispid pubescence present on young branches, stipules, leaf margin and primary veins also help in its identification. Collected with flowers from March to July and December, and fruits from April and September to November. This taxon occurs in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru and Venezuela (Sothers et al. 2016). In Brazil it is recorded in Amazonas, Amapá, EspÍrito Santo, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Pará, Rio de Janeiro, Rondônia and Roraima (Barros et al. 2022; Sothers & Prance 2023 d). In EspÍrito Santo it occurs in Restinga, Ombrophilous forest and Mata de Tabuleiro, in Conceição da Barra, Linhares, Jaguaré, Marilândia, Pinheiros and Santa Teresa municipalities. In the state it was collected in three protected areas (Reserva Natural Vale, Reserva Biológica Córrego do Veado, Reserva Biológica Augusto Ruschi) and can be considered “ Near Threatened ” (NT).

Porto Seguro, próximo ao Arraial da Ajuda, 25. XI. 1963, fl., A. P. Duarte 8057 (NY, RB). Leptobalanus turbinatus can be confused with Licania littoralis by their glabrous leaves, of similar size, number of primary veins, slightly revolute margin and short petiole. It can be distinguished by the less conspicuous primary veins, flowers with exserted and more numerous stamens, and the glabrous and not stipitate fruit. Collected with fruits in February. As the only specimen for EspÍrito Santo does not have the habit or other stem details available, we do not include this information in the description. Specimens from Bahia, a neighbouring state, are trees, up to 3 m tall. Leptobalanus turbinatus occurs in areas of restinga in Bahia and Pernambuco (Sothers & Prance 2023), and is here first recorded for the state of EspÍrito Santo, only in the municipality of Vitória. In the state this species is represented by only one record from 1941 and it is not associated with any protected area, which suggests it is under a high threat level. Brasil (2022) assessed it as “ Endangered ” (EN) for the country. The common name for this species is faiabranca (A.
