Description

Danaea (subg. Danaea) cartilaginea Christenh. & Tuomisto, Kew Bull. 61(1): 18, 21, 23, f. 3A–E. 2006.

Range: —Western Amazonia from southern Venezuela to northern Bolivia (PA).

Ecology:— Rare in Bolivia (known from a single collection: Weigelt 90542, GOET, LPB, TUR, Z), but widespread and relatively common in western Amazonia; terrestrial in humid forests on hilly or flat terrain, on well-drained loamy soil, often close to creeks or rivers (Christenhusz & Tuomisto 2006); 100–400 m.

Notes: —This is probably the largest species in the genus, with individuals reaching more than 2 m in height. Before the species was described in 2006, specimens belonging to it had been mistakenly referred to D. ulei (e.g., Tuomisto & Poulsen 1996, Tuomisto & Moran 2001).
