 NOTES. — Incipiently domesticated by pre-Columbian Amerindians (Clement 1999; Levis et al. 2017). In French Guiana, restricted to savannas. Wendland (in Kerchove 1878: 230) mistakenly listed “ Acrocomia Zapotecis Karw. ” as a synonym of A. mexicana Karw. ex Mart. Actually, Martius’ sentence: “ A Zapotecis Jaçangha [...] dicitur ” (Martius 1824: 286) only means that “Jaçangha” is the vernacular name of A. mexicana for the Zapotecs. The attribution of this “binomial” to L. B. de Karwinsky (“ Acrocomia zapotecis Karw. ”) (Wendland in Kerchove 1878: 230) is also a mistake. Karwinsky wrote the name A. mexicana on the type specimen that he collected. Bactris globosa Gaertn. appears as B. minor Gaertn. on plate.
