Guatteria microcarpa Ruiz & Pav. ex G. Don

Small-seeded Guatteria (Guatteria microcarpa)

The Small-seeded Guatteria is known from a herbarium specimen that was collected near Guayaquil, the capital of the Guayas Province of Ecuador sometimes between 1788 and 1788, as well as from a second specimen, which again was collected about a century later

The species was not found recently and is very likely extinct.
