Wood Anatomy of the Neotropical Sapotaceae. XXI. Barylucuma

Abstract

Barylucuma decussata, the sole member of the genus, was established in 1925 by Adolpho Ducke. Eyma (1936) suggested its affinity with Pouteria and Baehni (1942) made the new combination Bouteria decussata (Ducke) Baehni. Ducke (1942) revised his opinion regarding the status of his new genus indicating that was untenable but did not suggest its placement in one of the known genera. Aubreville (1961) retained Barylucuma as distinct. Anatomically and physically the wood of Barylucuma is similar to certain species of Neoxythece, Paralabatia and Myrtiluma, but seems to be most closely allied with Podoluma. (Author)
