Moquilea megalophylla is a species of plant in the family Chrysobalanaceae. It is endemic to Ecuador. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. [1]
Chrysobalanaceae is a family of flowering plants, consisting of trees and shrubs in 27 genera and about 700 species of pantropical distribution with a centre of diversity in the Amazon. Some of the species contain silica in their bodies for rigidity and so the mesophyll often has sclerenchymatous idioblasts. The widespread species Chrysobalanus icaco produces a plum-like fruit and the plant is commonly known as the coco plum.
Asteranthos is a genus of woody plant in the family Lecythidaceae. There is only one known species, Asteranthos brasiliensis, native to Venezuela and Brazil.
Corythophora labriculata is a species of woody plant in the Lecythidaceae family. It is found only in Suriname.
The Kona giant looper moth is an extinct species of moth in the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1899. It was endemic to Hawaii.
Moquilea fasciculata is a species of plant in the family Chrysobalanaceae. It is endemic to Panama.
Licania is a genus of over 100 species of trees and shrubs in the family Chrysobalanaceae. Species are found naturally occurring in neotropical forests from southern Mexico to Brazil and the Lesser Antilles. Due to increased deforestation and loss of habitat, several species have declined, some markedly so, and L. caldasiana from Colombia appears to have gone extinct in recent years. Many species are either rare or restricted in distribution and therefore potentially threatened with future extinction. In 2016, a new circumscription of Licania was outlined, with over 100 species being placed in other genera such as Moquilea, Leptobalanus, Hymenopus, Microdesmia, Parinariopsis, Geobalanus and Cordillera.
Moquilea chiriquiensis is a species of plant in the family Chrysobalanaceae. It is endemic to Panama. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Hymenopus conferruminatus is a species of plant in the family Chrysobalanaceae. It is endemic to Brazil.

Moquilea hedbergii is a species of plant in the family Chrysobalanaceae. It is endemic to Ecuador. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
Moquilea longicuspidata is a species of plant in the family Chrysobalanaceae. It is endemic to Ecuador. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
Leptobalanus morii is a species of plant in the family Chrysobalanaceae. It is endemic to Panama.
Moquilea salicifolia is a species of plant in the family Chrysobalanaceae. It is endemic to Colombia.

Moquilea vasquezii is a species of plant in the family Chrysobalanaceae. It is endemic to Peru.
Microdesmia rigida, the oiticica, is a species of plant in the family Chrysobalanaceae. It is endemic to Brazil. The oiticica grows deep in floods of rivers and streams, forming long, narrow avenues to the edge of ravines or floodplains staining the dark-green color of its large and dense foliage.
Roupala montana is a species of shrub or tree in the family Proteaceae which is native to much of the Neotropics. It is a morphologically variable species with four recognised varieties. The species is used medicinally in Venezuela, and as an aphrodisiac in Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela.
Dactyladenia hirsuta is a species of plant in the family Chrysobalanaceae. It is endemic to Ivory Coast and Ghana. Its natural habitats are wet evergreen forests. It is threatened by extensive logging of its habitat, the effects of mining and the establishment of commercial plantations.
Moquilea platypus, also known as sun sapote, sansapote, and monkey apple, is a flowering tree in the family Chrysobalanaceae. The specific epithet (platypus) is Neo-Latin for "flat-footed".
