Taxonomie : Taxon finalement relégué à la synonymie de
Crudia spicata (Aubl.)
Willd. 1799 par son descripteur (Bentham 1870, p. 238). Néanmoins
Amshoff, auteure éclairée, apporte des arguments
très solides en faveur de leur maintient en tant qu'espèces indépendantes (Meded. Bot. Mus. Herb. Rijks Univ. Utrecht, 52(1):
[1-]13[-78]. 1939): "
C. bracteata Benth.
in Hook. Journ. Bot. II (1840)
101 (type Martin s.n. [K; P]) was afterwards
in Fl. Bras. XV. 2 (1870)
238 in obs. identified by Bentham with
C. spicata (Aubl.) Willd., but is a quite distinct species. The chief distinguishing characters are: Leaves 5-7-foliate, glabrous; racemes glabrous; receptacle campanulate; ovary pilose at the sutures; pod glabrous. It has been collected in Fr. Guiana and Pará."
Type : "In Martin's Guiana collection is the following new species, also communicated to me by the Museum of Paris.
C. bracteata" [protologue].
