 NOTES. — Hyperdominant in Amazonia (ter Steege et al. 2020). Marchand (1869: 162) ascribed to J.D. Hooker (Hook.f.) the transfer to Tapirira (“ Tapiria ”) of “ Mauria (Cyrtocarpa) bijuga Mart. ” Since “ Mauria bijuga ” does not exist, as Marchand (1869: 162) actually referred to Mauria subbijuga Martius ex Bentham (1852: 15), and since there is no trace of such a transfer by J.D. Hooker, Tapirira bijuga is to be ascribed to Marchand alone (not “Hook.f. ex Marchand”).
