LEON, Blanca  e  MONSALVE, Christhian. Dichapetalaceae endemic of Peru . Rev. peru biol. [online]. 2006, vol.13, n.2, pp.279-279. ISSN 1727-9933.

This family is a recent addition to the endemic Peruvian flora. The Dichapetalaceae are represented in Peru by three genera and 16 species (Brako & Zarucchi, 1993) mostly trees and lianas. Here we recognize one endemic species in the genus Tapura. This endemic species grows in the Humid Lowland Amazonian Forests region at 250 m elevation. It has not yet been recorded in Peru´s protected areas system.

Palavras-chave : Dichapetalaceae; Tapura; Peru; endemism; endemic plants.
