Cecropia sciadophylla is a plant species from the genus Cecropia . [1] [2] The species was originally described by Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius in 1841. [3]
Cecropia sciadophylla is a pioneer tree in the neotropics. The tree can grow up to 30 meters in height. [2] It grows in well-drained areas and as a pioneer plant emerges in damaged areas.
Cecropia sciadophylla can be found from sea-level up to 1300 meters from sea-level ranging from French Guiana to Colombia. [4] This is also confirmed by crowd-sourced observations. [3]
Cecropia is a Neotropical genus consisting of 61 recognized species with a highly distinctive lineage of dioecious trees. The genus consists of pioneer trees in the more or less humid parts of the Neotropics, with the majority of the species being myrmecophytic. Berg and Rosselli state that the genus is characterized by some unusual traits: spathes fully enclosing the flower-bearing parts of the inflorescences until anthesis, patches of dense indumentums (trichilia) producing Mullerian (food) at the base of the petiole, and anthers becoming detached at anthesis. Cecropia is most studied for its ecological role and association with ants. Its classification is controversial; in the past, it has been placed in the Cecropiaceae, Moraceae, or Urticaceae. The modern Angiosperm Phylogeny Group system places the "cecropiacean" group in the Urticaceae.
