18. PLUKENETIA CARABIASIAE J.Jiménez Ram., Anales Inst. Biol. Univ. Nac. Autón. View in CoL México, Bot. 64 (2): 55. 1993.

TYPE: MEXICO. Oaxaca: Distrito Tuxtepec, Municipio San Felipe Usila, Cerretera de Arroyo Tambor a Cerro Verde , [17.833°, -96.467°], 500 m, 9 April 1992, J. Ismael Calzada 17733 (holotype: FCME ; isotype: MEXU ).

Notes —See Jiménez Ram´ırez (1993) for species description. This species was described after Gillespie (1993) and is known only from a few collections from the Tuxtepec district of Oaxaca, Mexico (J. Ismael Calzada 16965 FCME, 17733 FCME, MEXU; Meave et al. 1550 MO! [accession 04786568, barcode MO-1147591], MO! [accession 6030707, barcode MO-2056000]). It appears to be morphologically similar to P. polyadenia but with smaller, at least semi-dehiscent fruit, “large” to “extra-large” broadly lenticular seeds, and longer styles. The staminate floral morphology of P. carabiasiae is not yet known.
