Distribution : Endémique du bassin du Maroni, côté guyanais comme surinamais. D'après Lachenaud
et al. (Pl. Ecol. Evol., 154(2):
301-302.
2021): "This species was so far only known from the type collection. [...] However, several other specimens from French Guiana and Suriname have been found, the latter representing a new country record. Most of these collections, some of which date back to the 19th century, were hitherto misidentified either as
A. chrysoleucum (Kunth) Sandwith or
A. paraense Bureau & K.Schum."

Identification : D'après Lachenaud
et al. (Pl. Ecol. Evol., 154(2):
301-302.
2021): "[
Anemopaegma chrysoleucum (Kunth) Sandwith &
A. paraense Bureau & K.Schum.] are morphologically similar to
A. granvillei,
especially in the glabrous outer surface of the corolla, truncate
calyx, and slightly prominent midrib of the leaflets but differ by their
larger and foliaceous prophylls of the axillary buds (vs minute
prophylls in
A. granvillei). [...]
Anemopaegma granvillei may also be confused with
A. kawense and
A. foetidum,
from which it differs by the characters listed in table 1. While Gentry
(1978) considered the puberulous indumentum of the leaflet abaxial side
as an important diagnostic character of
A. granvillei, in some specimens, the leaflets may be glabrous (Hugh-Jones 40A, Mélinon 414, Mélinon s.n.).
Fruits of
A. granvillei
are unknown. Even though the labels of the collections Veth 252 and
Mélinon 414 mention fruits, the former specimen lacks fruits, while the
latter reports fruits in spirit that could not be located at P (Thierry
Deroin pers. comm.)."
