| Abstract: | In 1972 the author described the new species Acioa edulis (Chrysobalanaceae) to name the Castanha de cutia, a plant which is economically important because of its edible fruit. The original description was based on fruiting material only. Recently collected flowering material has shown that the original generic assignment was incorrect, and so it is now transferred to Couepia the correct genus, and the flowers are described for the first time. |
| metadata.dc.description.resumo: | Em 1972 o autor descreveu a espécie nova, Acioa edulis (Chrysobalanaceae) para Castanha de cutia, uma planta de grande importância por seus frutos comestíveis e oleaginosos. A descrição original foi baseada em material frutífero e sem flores. O material coletado em 1975 com flores mostrou que a planta não pertence ao gênero Acioa mas à Couepia. Então, Acioa edulis é transferida para Couepia edulis (Prance) Prance. comb. nov. e as flores são descritas pela primeira vez. |
