Small tree to 6 m tall, the young branches<br />

sparsely puberulous, soon becoming glabrous and<br />

This species is best distinguished by the dense-<br />

ly clustered inflorescence with numerous short<br />

branches, also by the small sessile glands around<br />

the margin of the calyx lobes, and the extremely<br />

lustrous leaf upper surfaces. It is probably most<br />

closely related to the more southerly C. merid-<br />

ionalis, from which it also differs in the im-<br />

pressed venation of the leaf upper surface and<br />

the glabrous petals. Couepia coarctata is named<br />

for the crowded, clustered inflorescence. It is not<br />

easily confused with any other species of the genus.<br />

It was collected in two places on coastal<br />

restinga on the small peninsula that runs north<br />

from Marau.<br />
