Wood Anatomy of the Neotropical Sapotaceae. XXIX. Eglerodendron.

Abstract

The monotypic genus Eglerodendron was described by Aubreville and Pellegrin (1)3/in 1961 based upon Lucuma pariry Ducke. The resulting new combination became Eglerodendron pariry (Ducke) Aubr. and Pellegr. with the synonyms Lucuma pariry Ducke and Pouteria pariry (Ducke) Baehni. In 1942 Baehni (3) maintained this species in Pouteria, however, in 1965 (4) he transferred it to Rhamnoluma pariry (Ducke) Baehni. In Aubreville's (2) key to the genera, Eglerodendron is separated on the basis of its 5-merous flowers, five-chambered ovary, and the stamens are inserted at the base of the corolla tube; in Pouteria the flowers are 4-merous, the ovary is four chambered, and the stamens are inserted near the middle of the corolla tube.
