Reference:
NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description:
Evergreen forests of Guyana and Surinam, 25-40 m tall, some of them with emergents up to 60 m. These forests are in part seasonal and include, in addition to mixed forests with no clear dominant species, a number of communities with a single dominant, probably linked to infertile soils or a combination of soils and topography. Some of the typical species are <i>Licania venosa, Licania laxiflora, Licania heteromorpha, Mora gonggrijpii, Eschweilera sagotiana, Protium decandrum, Pentaclethra macroloba, Quiina indigofera, Alexa imperatricis, Goupia glabra, Eperua falcata, Parinari excelsa, Couratari coriacea, Dinizia excelsa, Dicymbe corimbosa</i>, and numerous palm species such as <i>Jessenia bataua, Geonoma paniculigera, Oenocarpus bacaba, Attalea sagotti, Iriartea hexorrhiza, Astrocaryum sciophilum</i>. The macrogroup includes also edafoxerophyllous, semi-deciduous smaller forests which grow on poor white, coarse sand soils.
