Biology:Waimiria
From HandWiki
Waimiria is a genus of flowering plants in the family Lecythidaceae. It includes a single species, Waimiria amazoniciformis, a tree endemic to northern Brazil, where it grows in the Amazon rainforest around Manaus.[1][2]
The species was first described as Eschweilera amazoniciformis by Scott Alan Mori in 1990.[1] A phylogenetic study by Vargas et al. published in 2024 concluded that Eschweilera was polyphyletic, and that E. amazoniciformis was an isolated sister lineage most closely related to the genera Corythophora and Imbiriba. The authors placed it in the new monotypic genus Waimiria as Waimiria amazoniciformis.[2]
