  1. Tocoyena brasiliensis Mart. is another shrubby tree found in dune forests of the Amazon coast. The hawk-moth pollinated flowers are beautiful. T. brasiliensis and other species of this habitat are adapted to rather dry conditions (the sandy dune substrate does not retain much water during the dry season) and they are often more typical of the Brazilian savannas (cerrado) further south than of "typical" Amazon rainforests.
