Biology:Imbiriba

From HandWiki

Imbiriba is a genus of flowering plants in the family Lecythidaceae. It includes seven species native to northern, central, and eastern Brazil.[1]

The species in Imbiriba constitute the former Tetrapetala section of genus Eschweilera. Vargas et al. published a phylogenetic study in 2024 which concluded that Eschweilera was polyphyletic, and the authors proposed new or revived genera, including Imbiriba, for species in the paraphyletic sections of Eschweilera.[2]
