FIGURE 9. Seeds of the Lecythis ollaria (A–C), L. chartacea (D–L), and Lecythis poiteaui (M–P) clades. Lecythis ollaria clade—A. L. ollaria (Davidse & González 12096A). B. L. minor (Prance 23172). C. L. tuyrana (not vouchered). All species in this clade have a tendency toward more-or-less fusiform seeds, plane primary veins, major veins oriented along length of seeds, and higher order veins absent, i.e., the areas between the major veins are smooth. Most of the veins of L. ollaria and L. minor only extend for part of the length of the seeds while those of L. tuyrana extend from the base to the apex of the seed. Lecythis chartacea clade—D. L. chartacea (Nee & Mori 4199). E. L. alutacea (Redden et al. 1732). F. L. brancoensis (Silva 48). G. Lecythis rorida (Mori et al. 20428). H. L. retusa (Ramos s.n. NY barcode 00684323). I. L. gracieana (Freitas et al. 745). J. Lecythis parvifructa (Freitas et al. 726). K. L. holcogyne (Mori & Pipoly 15493). L. Eschweilera. simiorum (Clark 4333). Most species in this clade have fusiform or, less frequently, globose seeds, salient primary veins, major veins oriented along the entire length of the seeds, and salient higher order veins. The seeds associated with indehiscent fruits (e.g., those of L. gracieana (I) and L. parvifructa (J), tend to be more globose. Lecythis poiteaui clade—M. L. barnebyi (Costich & dos Santos 836). N. Lecythis ibiriba (Carvalho et al. 6026). O. L. lurida (Prance 26574). P. L. prancei (Mori 20286). All species in this clade
