Dipteryx charapilla is a little-known species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae,[1] a large to mid-sized tree growing along rivers in the rainforests of Brazil.[2] and Peru.[3]

Similar species
Other species of Dipteryx which are said to grow in the same area as this species are D. alata, D. ferrae, D. micrantha, D. odorata and D. rosea.[7] D. charapilla is most similar to D. odorata and D. rosea.[4][5] According to Macbride, it can be distinguished from D. odorata primarily due to the calyx being puberulous as opposed to densely tomentose. It can be distinguished from D. rosea in having smaller flowers. Furthermore, in D. rosea the calyx has three distinct teeth-like lobes on the lower part; in D. charapilla these lobes are obscure and indistinct.[5]
Taxonomy
This species was first described as Coumarouna charapilla in 1943 by
The second example was discovered in
Ducke moved the species to the genus Dipteryx in 1949.[12]
In 1975 a herbarium voucher identified as this species was collected along the banks of the Río Nanay in Maynas Province, Peru.[6] It has since been collected in Maynas a number of times.[13][14]
In the most recent monograph on the genus Dipteryx, A Checklist of the Dipterygeae species by the Brazilian researcher
Since 2014 local botanists from Brazil and Peru have collected many more additional specimens.[2][12][4] The Herbario Herrerense (HH) at the Instituto de Investigaciones de la Amazonía Peruana in Iquitos, Peru, holds the most specimens at present.[4]
Distribution
Peru: In
Brazil: This species was collected from Amazonas in the early 1940s.[2][11] Although not known in 2014,[12] as of 2019 the distribution of this species has been expanded to the states of Acre and Rondônia in Brazil.[2]
Bolivia: A collection from 1975 of a specimen identified as this species at the herbarium of the Museu Botânico Municipal in Bolivia is attributed to that country in error, as that particular collection is a duplicate of the 1975 collection (number 19865).[6][19][20]
Habitat
In Brazil this tree has been found in the Amazon rainforest growing on terra firme forest, várzea (inundated forest) and/or shaded tropical rainforest.[2] In Peru it has been found growing in inundated forest along the banks of rivers, and along river banks in general (although this may be an artefact caused due to these being the easiest places to collect plant specimens).[5][6][13]
It has been collected growing at altitudes of 90[13]-125m.[8]
Conservation
In 1998 Oldfield et al. published a list of tropical tree species whose populations they believed to be threatened by extinction, which was adopted into the
