Monocarps 15–45, green, maturing red to purple-black in vivo, black in sicco, ellipsoid, 6–15 by 5–7 mm, glabrous, apex apiculate (apiculum c. 0.5 mm long), wall c. 0.5 mm thick, stipes 10–30 by 1 mm. Seed ellipsoid, 6–10 by 5–7 mm, dark brown, rugulose, raphe not distinct from rest of seed.

Distribution — Brazil (Bahia, Espírito Santo, Goiás, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, São Paulo).

Habitat & Ecology — In non-inundated and periodically inundated, often Atlantic forest, or cerrado, on clayey to sandy soil.At elevations of 0–2000 m. Flowering: throughout the year; fruiting: throughout the year.

Vernacular names — Brazil: Cambuí (P. Rosa RB 81409), Imbira (H. C. Lima 3405), Pindaíba.

Note — Guatteria australis is very variable, generally being characterized by medium-sized leaves (5–20 by 1.5–7 cm) with mm

acute to acuminate apex and flowering pedicels often around 50 mm long. The indument is also highly variable, individuals with glabrous branches and leaves (e.g., Dusén 13746 from Guara- tuba, Paraná) occurring in the same area as individuals with a dense hair cover on branches and the lower side of leaves (e.g., Barbosa 556, also from Guaratuba, Paraná). Guatteria acutiflora was recently added to the synonymy of G. australis ( Lobão et al. 2012) . Guatteria acutiflora supposedly differs from the latter by rounded leaf bases (Von Martius 1841), but, as Lobão found a rounded leaf base in several specimens of G. australis as well, she sees no justification for keeping the two species apart. The name G. acutiflora DC ( De Candolle 1817) is cited in reference to G. acutifolia Dunal and is an orthographic variant (art. 60.1 ICBN).
