From today's canoe trip through the inundated forests of the Caeté river floodplain -- this liana is actually a gymnosperm (should be Gnetum venosum Spruce ex Benth.). We collected this specimen for our herbarium at the University of Pará (UFPA) in Bragança (HBRA).

Curatella americana L. is a small savanna #tree and as such rather unusual in the #Amazonas region. It occurs, however, in seasonally dry #coastal #dune vegetation. Locally, it is the only tree of its family #Dilleniaceae, which is composed mainly of #lianas. It shares with the lianas the spine-toothed #leaf margins (best seen in young plants) and has a rough, sandpaper-like leaf surface. We have a specimen planted on Campus of the #UFPA in #BragançaPA. #botany
