PINTAUD, Jean-Christophe; MILLAN, Betty  and  KAHN, Francis. The genus Hexopetion Burret (Arecaceae)El género Hexopetion Burret (Arecaceae). Rev. peru biol. [online]. 2008, vol.15, suppl.1, pp.49-54. ISSN 1727-9933.

The genus Hexopetion was described by Burret to accommodate a single species, H. mexicanum. We reinstate the genus on the basis of morphological and anatomical data, and enlarge it to include a second species, Astrocaryum alatum, for which a new combination is made.

Keywords : Arecaceae; Hexopetion; new combination; reinstated genus.
