Vernacular name —Chillador, garapata, garapatilla, limoncillo (all from Standley, 1924).

Illustration — Figure 20 .

Phenology —Flowering August and December through June; fruiting January through December.

Distribution and habitat — Mexico (Veracruz, Oaxaca, and Chiapas), Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama, in cloud forests at 700–2200 m elev. Figure 21 .

Conservation status — Symplocos limoncillo is known from over 125 collections. Although few of its known populations occur in formally protected sites, the species is widespread and locally common from southern Mexico throughout Central America. Based on these data, we assign a classification of Least Concern (LC) to this species.

Discussion — Symplocos limoncillo is one of the most commonly collected species throughout the Mesoamerican region. This species is most readily recognized by the combination of shiny, yellowish green, crenate-margined leaves and distinctive fruits 1.5–1.8 cm long with a pulvinate apical disk.

Two duplicates of A. J. A. Bonpland 4458, the type material of Symplocos limoncillo , are housed at P-Bonpl., and they are both on the same sheet. We chose P-Bonpl.-135121, the duplicate on the lower portion of the sheet, as the lectotype, because it has fruits whereas P-Bonpl.-648479 has neither flowers nor fruits.
