Description: 

An emergent tree of Couratari multiflora based on Mori et al. 16546 from Amapá, Brazil. This species and others of the genus Couratari  are among the tallest of lowland rain forest trees. It lives for many years and is therefore called a perennial plant. The growth form is leptocaul; thus, there are many orders of branching.
