The genus (Arecaceae/Palmae) is the most economically and culturally important genus of African palms. With over 20 recognized species, it is also the most diversified among tropical African palms. However, significant taxonomic confusion still persists in the genus. P.Beauv. is one of the first two names described in the genus, but the species has been misidentified and confused for several decades.
We clarify the taxonomic identity of We retrace the taxonomic history of the name and clarify its morphological identity using the literature and type material. We synonymize the name with We provide a new detailed morphological description of based on the study of herbarium material and field data. A distribution map is also provided. is still incompletely known, and more research should be undertaken on this species' presence and ecology, especially in West Africa.
属(棕榈科)是非洲棕榈中在经济和文化方面最重要的属。该属有超过20个已被认可的物种,也是热带非洲棕榈中最多样化的。然而,该属仍存在重大的分类学混乱。 P.Beauv.是该属最早描述的两个名称之一,但几十年来该物种一直被错误鉴定和混淆。
我们澄清了 的分类学身份。我们追溯了该名称的分类学史,并利用文献和模式标本澄清了其形态学特征。我们将 名称与 同义。基于对标本馆材料和实地数据的研究,我们提供了 新的详细形态学描述。还提供了分布图。 仍然了解不全面,应该对该物种的分布和生态进行更多研究,特别是在西非。
