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 />
