Abstract:RESUMENSe describe como nueva y se ilustra Cyrtocarpa kruseana, de los estados mexicanos de Chiapas, Guerrero, Jalisco y Nayarit. La presente especie es similar, en lo que se refiere a la posición y tamaño de inflorescencias a Cyrtocarpa velutinifolia de América del Sur y es diferente de las especies mexicanas, especialmente en el tamaño y posición de las inflorescencias así como en el tamaño del fruto y la época de floración y fructificación.Palabras clave: Anacardiaceae, Cyrtocarpa kruseana, México.

The Spondioideae subfamily of the Anacardiaceae is widely distributed today in tropical regions. Recent molecular phylogenetic investigations indicate that the Spondioideae are not monophyletic, but rather comprise at least two separate clades that are difficult to distinguish using vegetative and floral characters. Nevertheless, the syndrome of fruit characters traditionally used in identifying the subfamily is useful in discriminating genera of these clades and for identification of both modern and fossil anacardiaceous fruits. Here we document the morphology and anatomy of endocarps for representatives of all extant genera traditionally treated as Spondioideae, plus two genera that have been placed close to them in molecular investigations, Buchanania and Campnosperma. All genera are characterized by drupe-like fruits with sclerified stones that vary from uni- to multilocular depending on the genus. Germination modes vary throughout the Spondioideae. Some have characteristic plug-like opercula; others have recessed bilabiate germination valves, and still others open by apical flaps or simple slits. Although most currently recognized genera appear to be monophyletic, fruit morphology indicates that current circumscriptions of Cyrtocarpa, Poupartia and Tapirira are in need of revision.

“…procera (Anacardiaceae) is mainly distributed in the forests from the states of Jalisco, Guerrero, Oaxaca and Puebla where it is locally known as "chupandia" (Puebla); "baricoca", "copalcocote", "copalcojote" (Guerrero); "machocote", "palo de chupandia" (Oaxaca), and "coco de cerro" (Alto Balsas) (Ávila-Ramírez et al, 2007). This species blooms between March and May and is native to dry places; it is used for treatment of diarrhea and dysentery (Argueta et al, 1994;Fonseca, 2005). Its internal bark is extracted in the form of strips of up to 2 cm of length, in the same manner as with Amphipterygium adstringens.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
