Lecythidaceae

Neotropical Lecythidaceae are among the most spectacular plants in the world because of their showy flowers and large woody fruits (click here to learn more). The long-term goal of this website is to provide all of the information that we and our collaborators have accumulated on the taxonomy and biology of the Brazil nut family in a single location. The site will include keys to species, web pages for the Neotropical species, specimens, an illustrated glossary, and a bibliography of papers that have been written about the systematics, economic botany, habitats, pollination, dispersal biology, anatomy and morphology, and molecular biology of the family.
