Discussion

  • The type of Euterpe longevaginata has not been located at P, but may be mislaid rather than destroyed. For this reason we have not chosen a neotype. This name is interpreted from the original description and from more-recent collections from the type locality. Types of two other names, Euterpe karsteniana and Euterpe leucospadix, have also not been located. These, too, are interpreted from the original descriptions and from more-recent collections from the type localities. We are thus confident of their inclusion here. (Gloria Galeano & A. Henderson: Flora Neotropica, Monograph 72)B

Common Name

  • Belize; mountain cabbage; Colombia: hicara, manaca, palmicho; Costa Rica: caña lucia; Ecuador: palmbil; Panama: palmita. (Gloria Galeano & A. Henderson: Flora Neotropica, Monograph 72)B

  • The palm heart is occasionally eaten. (Gloria Galeano & A. Henderson: Flora Neotropica, Monograph 72)B
