Guarea caulobotrys is a species of plant in the family Meliaceae. It is endemic to Colombia.[1]

Taxonomy

The species was first described by José Cuatrecasas in 1950.[2] Cuatrecasas spelt the epithet caulobotryis.[3] However, -botrys used in a scientific name is a noun, so its ending does not change.[4] As of October 2021, the International Plant Names Index used the spelling caulobotrys, noting the different initial spelling.[2] This approach was followed by Tropicos[5] and the International Union for Conservation of Nature,[1] among others. The original spelling was also used.[6]
