Description

[321] Licania alba (Bernoulli) Cuatrec.

Contr. U.S. Natl. Herb. 35 (6): 588 [21 Aug. 1964] (Cuatrecasas 1964). — Theobroma album Bernoulli, Neue Denkschr. Schw. Naturf. Ges. 24 (3): 14 (Bernoulli 1871), “ alba ”.

Caraipa longifolia Aubl., Hist. Pl. Guiane 1: 561 [Jun.-Dec. 1775] (Aublet 1775).

Licania venosa Rusby, Descr. S. Amer. Pl. 26 [20 Dec. 1920] (Rusby 1920).

Licania longifolia Benoist, Bull. Mus. Natl. Hist. Nat. 28: 252 (Benoist 1923).

NOTES. — Caraipa longifolia Aubl. is the earliest name for this taxon, but the epithet is no longer transferable to Licania because the name is occupied by L. longifolia Benoist. Although also a synonym of L. alba, L. longifolia is not based on Aublet’s taxon, having a distinct type. Cuatrecasas (1964: 588) erroneously gives “Übersicht Theobroma 14. 1869” as the publication reference for Theobroma album Bernoulli; no such name is found therein.

VERNACULAR NAMES. — Pa: bukutru-gateu-seinõ, kwep • Ka: kolokolo • Wp: ɨwa tã’ĩy, payula • Wn: etuwe, kuepi • Nt: baaka kookoo, kookoo • Cr: golèt-blan-gran-fèy • Fr: gaulette blanche à grandes feuilles • Br: caraipé, caripé.
