Whether the correct nomenclature is Elaeoluma or Gym- noluma is problematical and remains to be resolved by a monographer. Kukachka, B.F. 1980. Wood anatomy of the neotropical Sapotaceae. XV. Sandwithiodoxa. Res. Pap. FPL-359. Madison, WI: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Ser- vice, Forest Products Laboratory. 4 p. Sandwithiodoxa is a monotypic genus established by Aubre- ville and Pellegrin. making the new combination Sandwith- iodoxa egregia (Sandw.) Aubr. and Pellegr. The wood is light brown, very hard, and heavy with an average relative density of 1.09. Individual specimens attain a relative density of 1.21. Floristically it is said to have affinities with Sarcaulus and Pseudocladia, but anatomically it differs from these genera in several details. Kukachka, B.F. 1980. Wood anatomy of the neotropical Sapotaceae. XVI. Paralabatia. Res. Pap. FPL-360. Madi- son, WI: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory. 6 p. Paralabatia is a small genus of five or six species ranging from the Amazon to the West Indies. From the anatomical standpoint the genus as constituted by Aubreville forms a group of closely related species. In marked contrast, the four species cited by Baehni belong to four different anatomical groups. The woods of Paralabatia are some- what similar to those of Neoxythece but can be readily distinguished by the smaller pores and shorter vessel members characteristic of Paralabatia. Kukachka, B.F. 1980. Wood anatomy of the neotropical Sapotaceae. XVII. Gambeya. Res. Pap. FPL-361. Madi- son, WI: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory. 6 p. Gambeya is an African genus to which Aubreville added Gambeya excelsa (Huber) Aubr., based on the Amazonian Chrysophyllum excelsum Huber. Whether Gambeya is the appropriate taxon for the American species remains to be resolved. Wood specimens indicate that several species occur in the Americas ranging from Southern Mexico to the Peruvian Amazon. The woods of the neotropical Gam- beya are an off-white color unique among the predomi- nant browns and red browns typical of the Sapotaceae. The wood is further distinguished by the radial arrangement of the pores, reticulate parenchyma, lack of silica, and the presence of microcrystals in the wood rays and axial parenchyma. A unique genus of the Sapotaceae. Kukachka, B.F. 1980. Wood anatomy of the neotropical Sapotaceae. XVIII. Gomphiluma. Res. Pap. FPL-362. Madison, WI: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Ser- vice, Forest Products Laboratory. 3 p. As now constituted, Gomphiluma consists of two species of small trees limited to the Brazilian Amazon. Formerly submerged in the large genus Pouteria, Gomphiluma was reinstated to generic status by Aubreville in 1961. The pale brown wood of moderate density is quite unlike that of Pouteria and appears more nearly allied with certain species of Micropholis. Kukachka, B.F. 1980. Wood anatomy of the neotropical Sapotaceae. XIX. Chromolucuma. Res. Pap. FPL-363. Madison, WI: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Ser- vice, Forest Products Laboratory. 4 p. Chromolucuma was established by Adolpho Ducke in 1925 based on the single species C. rubriflora native to the mid- dle amazon of Brazil. A second species, C. baehniana, was described in 1949 by Monachino. It occurs in the Amazon and Guyana. A third species, C. sericea, was named by Gilly but it is not known at the present time whether this was validly published. Anatomically the affinities of Chro- molucuma appear to be with Pouteria (sensu Aubreville) but it differs from the latter in several respects. Kukachka, B.F. 1981. Wood anatomy of the neotropical Sapotaceae. XX. Manilkara. Res. Pap. FPL-371. Madi- son, WI: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory. 13 p. Consisting of about 32 neotropical species, the genus Manilkara has a widespread distribution in the Americas ranging from southeastern Brazil and northern Bolivia as far north as southern Florida. It is probably the most important of the American genera, being the source of commercial timbers, fruits, and gums. Manilkara, as constituted here, consists of a generic complex that includes Achras, Muriaeanthe, Schaferodendron, Manilkariopsis, and Chiclea. This complex exhibits remarkable anatomical uniformity; the variability exhibited between genera is no greater than that which may be encountered within a single species. Kukachka, B.F. 1981. Wood anatomy of the Sapotaceae. XXI. Barylucuma. Res. Pap. FPL-372. Madison, WI: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory. 3 p. Barylucuma decussata, the sole member of the genus, was established in 1925 by Adolpho Ducke. Eyma (1936) sug- gested its affinity with Pouteria and Baehni (1942) made the new combination Bouteria decussata (Ducke) Baehni. In 1942, Ducke revised his opinion regarding the status of his new genus indicating that it was untenable but did not suggest its placement in one of the known genera. Aubre- ville (1961) retained Barylucuma as distinct. Anatomically and physically the wood of Barylucuma is similar to certain species of Neoxythece, Paralabatia, and Myrtiluma, but seems to be most closely allied with Podoluma. Kukachka, B.F. 1981. Wood anatomy of the neotropical Sapotaceae. XXII. Pradosia. Res. Pap. FPL-373. Madi- son, WI: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory. 10 p. As constituted here, the genus Pradosia consists of a group of closely related species including the species attributed to Glycoxylon and Neopometia. The members of Pradosia are readily separable anatomically from other American Sapotaceae by the presence of silica in the wood rays and of microcrystals (crystal sand) in the axial parenchyma. Al- though Podoluma does share these features with Pradosia, it has much larger pores arranged in a clustered-echelon arrangement. Kukachka, B.F. 1981. Wood anatomy of the neotropical Sapotaceae. XXIII. Gayella. Res. Pap. FPL-374. Madi- son, WI: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory. 3 p. 19
Gayella splendens (A. DC.) Aubr., the sole member of this genus, is a tall shrub, endemic to Chile. Baehni (1965) and Eyma (1936) place G. splendens in Pouteria but Aubreville (1961) recognizes Gayella as distinct. Anatomically, the alliance of Gayella is not with Pouteria but with Pradosia and particularly with P. lactescens and ptychandra. Kukachka, B.F. 1981. Wood anatomy of the neotropical Sapotaceae. XXIV. Ecclinusa. Res. Pap. FPL-395. Madi- son, WI: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory. 6 p. Ecclinusa is a small genus of South American species char- acterized by their pale-brown, roseate, or sometimes rust- colored woods of medium density (relative density averages 0.71). The small pores are in clustered-echelon arrangement or in laterally spaced files in echelon or radial arrangement. Ecclinusa is a silica-accumulating genus, attaining concen- trations of 2.05 percent in E. guianensis. Since its inception in 1839, the genus has remained remarkably stable and has few synonyms. Kukachka, B.F. 1981. Wood anatomy of the neotropical Sapotaceae. XXV. Ragala. Res. Pap. FPL-396. Madison, WI: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory. 5 p. Ragala is a small genus of 4 species limited to the Guianas and the Amazon Basin. At one time its species were in- cluded in the genus Ecclinusa and another time both Eccli- nusa and Ragala were a part of the very large genus Chrys- ophyllum. This study of the wood anatomy supports the separation of Ecclinusa and Ragala as well as their removal from Chrysophyllum. Ragala is a silica-accumulating genus. Kukachka, B.F. 1981. Wood anatomy of the neotropical Sapotaceae. XXVI. Myrtiluma. Res. Pap. FPL-397. Madison, WI: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Ser- vice, Forest Products Laboratory. 5 p. Myrtiluma eugeniaefolia (Pierre) Baillon, the sole member of this genus, is limited to northern South America and the lower Amazon Basin. It was originally described as a species of Micropholis and at a much later date was re- duced to synonomy under Pouteria. Anatomically it shows little affinity with Micropholis or Pouteria but would appear to be closely allied with Sandwithiodoxa. The wood is among the heaviest of the Sapotaceae. Kukachka, B.F. 1981. Wood anatomy of the neotropical Sapotaceae. XXVII. Sarcaulus. Res. Pap. FPL-398. Madi- son, WI: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory. 5 p. This study is based on wood specimens of Sarcaulus brasiliensis (A. DC.) Eyma which was, for a long time, the sole representative of the genus. [A second species, S. wur- dackii Aubr., was described in 1965 from Peru; wood of the latter species was not available for this study]. The genus is anatomically well-defined and, although the topography is rather similar to some species of Ecclinusa and Ragala, it can be readily separated by several anatomical features. Kukachka, B.F. 1982. Wood anatomy of the neotropical Sapotaceae. XXVIII. Labatia. Res. Pap. FPL-416. Madi- son, WI: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory. 5 p. 20 The genus Labatia, first described in 1788, was maintained as a distinct entity until the 1930s when it was submerged in Pouteria. In 1972, it was reestablished as the new genus Neolabatia and stated to be very closely related to the ear- lier described genus Pseudolabatia. Anatomically, Psuedola- batia is here regarded as a synonym of Labatia and, be- cause of the appreciable differences in wood anatomy, Laba- tia is here regarded as distinct from Pouteria. Kukachka, B.F. 1982. Wood anatomy of the neotropical Sapotaceae. XXIX. Eglerodendron. Res. Pap. FPL-417. Madison, WI: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Ser- vice, Forest Products Laboratory. 3 p. The monotypic genus Eglerodendron pariry (Ducke) Aubr. and Pellegr. is based on Lucuma pariry Ducke. The wood is physically similar to Pouteria but readily separated from the latter by (1) wider and more conspicuous axial parenchyma bands and (2) wood ray commonly 3 to 4 se- riate, with an appreciably higher maximum body height. This species is known only from the Amazon Basin. Kukachka, B.F. 1982. Wood anatomy of the neotropical Sapotaceae. XXX. Pseudocladia. Res. Pap. FPL-418. Madison, WI: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Ser- vice, Forest Products Laboratory. 3 p. Pseudocladia is a small genus of six species of trees occur- ring in Guyana, Surinam, Brazil, and adjacent Venezuela. Although first described by Pierre in 1891, it soon became submerged in the extremely large genus Pouteria until 1961 when Aubreville reinstated it to generic status. The woods are very hard, heavy, and rather drab brown and luster- less. Its affinities appear to be with Sandwithiodoxa which occupies the same range. Kukachka, B.F. 1982. Wood anatomy of the neotropical Sapotaceae. XXXV Urbanella. Res. Pap. FPL-423. Madi- son, WI: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory. 6 p. Kukachka, B.F. 1982. Wood anatomy of the neotropical Sapotaceae. XXXVI. Syzygiopsis. Res. Pap. FPL-424. Madison, WI: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Ser- vice, Forest Products Laboratory. 4 p. Syzygiopsis consists of three species, oppositifolia and oblanceolata native to Amazonia and sericea of adjacent Venezuela. Syzygiopsis was first described by Adolpho Ducke in 1925 and consisted of the single species, S. oppositifolia. Later he had some doubts regarding the tax- anomic status of his new genus but did not suggest any possible alternatives or alliances. In 1942 Baehni trans- ferred Ducke’s monotypic genus to Pouteria, producing the new combination Pouteria oppositifolia (Ducke) Baehni; in 1957 van Royen, making it a part of the large Asiatic genus Planchonella. Anatomically, the wood shows little, if any, alliance with Planchonella but shares some features with species of Pouteria. Kukachka, B.F. 1982. Wood anatomy of the neotropical Sapotaceae. XXXVII.
