This species is close to Licania blackii of east-
ern Amazonia, it differs in the small axillary,
caducous stipules, the greater number of primary
veins, and the shorter, darker pubescence of the
flowers. It is also close to the Venezuelan L. crue-
geriana, but differs in the larger leaves with a
more acuminate apex, the smaller stipules, and
the laxer, less branched inflorescence.
