Two main types of forest are included in this macrogroup. The first is a low to mid-height forest of open canopy that develops on topographically depressed areas in the terra firme forest, on sandy soils likely corresponding to old riverbeds. These depressions accumulate water from precipitation and nearby clearwater streams runoff. Characteristic composition includes <i>Qualea albiflora, Qualea wittrockii, Protium nodulosum, Sclerolobium tinctorium, Cariniana domestica, Lueheopsis althaeiflora, Swartzia simplex, Xylopia parviflora, Xylopia spruceana, Licania egleri, Licania micrantha, Licania apetala, Sloanea rufa, Pera nitida, Symphonia globulifera, Andira inermis, Couepia cf. obovata, Pachira aquatica, Cybianthus minutiflorus, Buchenavia macrophylla, Alchornea discolor, Tachigali chrysophylla, Tococa guianensis, Clusia amazonica</i>, and <i>Alibertia myrcifolia</i>. The other type corresponds to monodominant and mixed palm swamps of <i>Mauritia flexuosa</i>. The macrogroup is distributed in southern Peru, Bolivia and southwestern Brazil.
