First record of Pouteria franciscana Baehni (Chrysophylloideae, Sapotaceae) in Amapá state, eastern Brazilian Amazonia

Abstract

This is the first record of Pouteria franciscana Baehni (Chrysophylloideae, Sapotaceae) in Amapá state, Brazil. We provide a brief description as well as a distribution map, illustrations, and a table with useful features to distinguish P. franciscana from its morphologically related Amazonian species. Using geographic data and applying IUCN criteria, we assign the status as Least Concern for P. franciscana.
