Guarea caulobotrys is a species of plant in the family Meliaceae. It is endemic to Colombia. [1]
The species was first described by José Cuatrecasas in 1950. [2] Cuatrecasas spelt the epithet caulobotryis. [3] However, -botrys used in a scientific name is a noun, so its ending does not change. [4] As of October 2021 [update] , the International Plant Names Index used the spelling caulobotrys, noting the different initial spelling. [2] This approach was followed by Tropicos [5] and the International Union for Conservation of Nature, [1] among others. The original spelling was also used. [6]
