Chrysobalanaceae (Supplement). Flora Neotropica (9)

Since the F1ora Neotropica account of the Chrysobalanaceae was published in 1972, much new material has been collected. This supplement to the earlier monograph has studied 6170 new collections and includes the descriptions of 67 new taxa that have been described since the monograph, 64 of which are published as new species in this work. Full descriptions are given of all new species and they are numbered next to their closest relatives in the original monograph. New generic keys are provided to incorporate all the new species and other minor changes in taxonomy that were made in the light of the better material of many species.
