Abstract

The morphology and anatomy of fruits of Coccocypselum condalia, C. geophiloides and Lipostoma capitatum are discussed and illustrated. Except for the presence of a thin layer of sclerenchymatic endocarp in Lipostoma, there are no significant differences in the anatomical structure of these fruits. Therefore, Lipostoma is placed under the synonymy of Coccocypselum and the new combination Coccocypselum capitatum is provided. The remaining species, Lipostoma sericeum, is of uncertain status.
