NOTES. — Hyperdominant in Amazonia ( ter Steege et al. 2020) , but not yet found in inventories of trees above 10 cm dbh in French Guiana. Incipiently domesticated by pre-Columbian Amerindians ( Clement 1999; Levis et al. 2017). Saguerus americanus H.Wendl. (in Kerchove 1878: 256, as “ Saguerus americana Poir. , vide Mauritia flexuosa L. f.”) is obviously a mistranscript of Sagus americana . Wendland lists “ Sagus americana Poir. ?” as a synonym of M. flexuosa ( Kerchove 1878: 251) . Sagus americana Poiret (1805: 395) was based on Aublet’s description of the “Bache” ( Aublet 1775, 2[Suppl.]: 103), which did not come with a Latin name nor a formal diagnosis.
