Notes.

Bunchosia comprises 93 currently accepted species (46 threatened species; Suppl. material 1) of trees or shrubs endemic to non-flooded rainforests and seasonally dry tropical forest biomes in the Neotropics from Mexico to Argentina ( POWO 2024; Suppl. material 1). There is no updated identification key for all species of Bunchosia , but for regional treatments, see Anderson (1981) for the Guyana Highland, Almeida et al. (2020) for Brazil, Pool (in prep.) for Mesoamerica, González-Gutiérrez and Meyer (2019) for the Antilles, and Anderson (2016) for North America.
