NOTES. — Hyperdominant in Amazonia ( ter Steege et al. 2020) . The specific epithet refers to the Tupi-Guarani word itaúba meaning “forest on rock”, from ita (rock) and úba (forest). The hyphen was artificially introduced (“Ita-üba”) by Meissner (in Candolle 1864: 86) and has therefore to be suppressed according to Art. 60.9 of the Shenzhen Code ( Turland et al. 2018).

VERNACULAR NAMES. — Ka: ikalikanali • Br: itaúba, louro-itaúba.

HERBARIUM DATA (FG). — 19 collections at CAY. Sel. exs.: J.-F. Molino & D. Sabatier 2716.
