Seed 5–10 × 2–5 mm, ovoid, brown to vinaceous.</p> <p>Distribution, habitat &amp; ecology: —Northeast of Peru (Loreto and Pasco) and Ecuador (Napo and Pastaza), in primary terra firme forest of the Amazonian region, in lowland moist area, at an elevation of about 200 to 365 m above sea level.</p> <p>Etymology:— The epithet honors Dr. Cornelis Christiaan Berg (1934–2012†), a great specialist botanist in Moraceae, Cannabaceae, Ulmaceae and Urticaceae.</p> <p>Local name: —It is known as ‘yohue’ by Huaorani from Pastaza, Ecuador.</p> <p>IUCN conservation status: — Pourouma bergii is known from only seven collections in the provinces of Loreto, Pasco (Peru), Napo and Pastaza (Ecuador), made between 1980 and 1994. However, the extent of occurrence of P. bergii is ca. 96,000 km 2 and the population size are unknown. For these reasons P. bergii is assessed as Data Deficient (DD) according to IUCN Red List criteria (IUCN 2013).</p> <p>Additional specimens examined:— ECUADOR.

It shows similarities to P. tomentosa subsp. persecta C.C. Berg &amp; van Heusden (1988: 108) and P. petiolulata C.C. Berg (1993: 100): palmatisect lamina with segments usually pseudo-petiolules (Figs 1A–B). It may be distinguished from P. petiolulata by glabrous leafy twigs (versus hirsute), infundibuliform staminate perianth (Figs 1E, 2A) (versus perianth urceolate or with free tepals) and tomentose pistillate perianth with white arachnoid indument (Figs 2 C–D) (versus yellow velutinous or hispidulous, see Table 1.)</p> <p>The related species P. petiolulata is endemic of Napo (Ecuador) and P. tomentosa subsp. persecta occurs in the Bolivia (Cochabamba and La Paz), northwest of Brasil (Amazonas, Acre and Mato Grosso).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03C887D4FFD0FF92FF135399FB59F7C8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
