Eperua oleifera Ducke var. campestris Ducke (1932: 728) ( Figures 14 , 43 , 45 ) Type:— BRAZIL : Amazonas : Borba , Rio Madeira , campo arenoso, 17 January 1930 , Ducke W . A . s.n. RB23291 ( holotype RB sheet I [00539605]!, sheet II[00585835]!, & sheet III[00585836]!; isotypes NY [00004384] image!, P [00835938] image!, R [000028783]!, U [0003232] image!, US [00001150]!). Treelet, or shrub 1.5–9.0 m tall. Blades: lower pair base rounded, subcordate to cordate, middle pair base rounded, subcordate to cordate, upper pair base obtuse, rounded, subcordate to cordate, tertiary veins very conspicuous, prominent in the adaxial surface, rarely not prominent. Phenology:— Flowering mainly in April, from June to September, and in November, with a flowering peak in August; fruiting from May to August, in October, and November. Distribution:— Southeast of Amazonas state in the Madeira River basin ( Brazil ). Habitat:— White sand campina and campinarana , in upland and fooldplains areas, at ca. 100 m elev. FIGURE 43.

Etymology:— The specific epithet relates to its habitat in the campinas . Vernacular names:— copaiba jacaré ( Pessoal do Proj. Radam 13234 ). Uses:— Unknown. Taxonomic notes:— Eperua oleifera var. campestris differs from the type variety by being a treelet or shrub (vs. tall tree in var. oleifera ) with the lower and middle pair of leaflets having a rounded, cordate to subcordate base (vs. rounded to obtuse, rarely cordate or subcordate, in var. oleifera ), and very conspicuous tertiary veins (vs. conspicuous to inconspicuous in var. oleifera ) . Eperua oleifera var. campestris presents strigose to tomentose inflorescence (vs. tomentose, indumentum tending to be denser, in var. oleifera ), and it is the only reproductive difference, justifying its permanency as a variety.
