Unveiling the enigmatic world of Astrocaryum subsect. Acaulia: the quest for rediscovery of acaulescent palms described over a century ago
Project summary:
This project seeks to rediscover four 'poorly known and likely extinct' acaulescent Astrocaryum species. Targeting western limits in Rondônia and Bolivia (e.g., Noel Kempff Mercado Park), it complements previous proposals by focusing on recently identified occurrence sites. This expansion secures vital conservation data and fosters international botanical partnerships.
