A new species of Byttneria sect. Crassipetala (Malvaceae, Byttnerioideae) from Eastern Amazonia.
Byttneria (Malvaceae, Byttnerioideae) is a Pantropical genus known for its variable growth forms—ranging from shrubs to lianas—and complex floral structures. In this study, we describe a new species, Byttneria filifolia Gerace & Colli-Silva, from B. sect. Crassipetala, found in the Eastern Amazon rainforest of Brazil, specifically in Pará, and Mato...Gerace, Samuele ; Colli-Silva, Matheus

One sixth of Amazonian tree diversity is dependent on river floodplains.
Amazonia’s floodplain system is the largest and most biodiverse on Earth. Although forests are crucial to the ecological integrity of floodplains, our understanding of their species composition and how this may differ from surrounding forest types is still far too limited, particularly as changing inundation regimes begin to reshape floodplain... -

An updated description of Parkia barnebyana (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae, mimosoid clade) from Amazonian Venezuela and Brazil, and comparison with other species in sect. Parkia with erect capitula.
An updated description, including characters of the capitulum and fertile flowers, is provided for . Originally recorded from southern Venezuela, this small canopy tree from igapó (blackwater flooded forest) is now also known by two collections from north-western Brazil. The capitula are yellow and held erect, with the fertile flowers... -

A taxonomic account of Myrcia (Myrtaceae) at the sites of the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project, Amazonas, Brazil.
Abstract Myrcia is the sole genus of the Myrciinae, one of the nine subtribes of Myrteae (Myrtaceae). The Amazon forest holds about one-quarter of the Brazilian species of Myrcia, but the genus is still understudied in this whole region. In this context, this study presents a floristic survey of Myrcia...Gaem, Paulo Henrique ; Lucas, Eve ; Andrade, Ana ; Vicentini, Alberto ; Mazine, Fiorella Fernanda
