Although I have only one collection in n1ature flower and two collections in flower<br />

buds, the small depressed-globose flowers <strong>of</strong> this <strong>species</strong> are unique among <strong>neotropical</strong><br />

<strong>Beilschmiedia</strong> <strong>species</strong> and distinguished from the other <strong>species</strong> clearly. <strong>Beilschmiedia</strong><br />

linharesensis shares sinlilar phyllotaxis, ramification pattern, pubescence type and leaf shape<br />

with B. rig ida.<br />
