Siparuna gentryana
Siparuna gentryana is an evergreen monoecious tree which grows to 20 m in height. It is found in primary forest habitats in western Ecuador and Colombia. It is similar to the more widespread Siparuna cristata but can be distinguished by its much smaller fruits which are spiny rather than smooth.
