notes:
Mayna brasiliensis is now known as Carpotroche brasiliensis (Raddi) A. Gray. It is a tree native to the high altitude forests of Brazil and is also known as sapucainha, canudeiro, babado fruit, comona fruit, cotia fruit, leprosy fruit, monkey fruit, mata-piolho, papo de anjo, pau de anjo, pau de cachimbo, pau de cotia, pau de lepra, and ruchuchu. Couratari estrellensis is now known as Carianiara estrellensis (Raddi) Kuntze. It grows in the high altitude forests of Brazil. The genus Bertolonia Raddi comprises 17 species almost restricted to the Brazilian Atlantic forest. Bertolonia species are small herbs (sometimes creeping) and have long been used as ornamentals. Schnella is now considered a type of Bauhinia, a leguminous plant native to Brazil. Macroceratides may be a type of sea bean. Catappa brasiliensis is probably Terminalia catappa, also known as tropical almond or West Indian almond. Matthissonia is probably a type of Schwenckia, a member of the potato family. Leandra is a member of the family Melastomataceae. Raddi, a Tuscan botanist, went to Brazil in 1817 under the patronage of the Grand Duke of Tuscany in the Austrian mission with Johann Baptist von Spix, Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius, Johann Baptist Emanuel Pohl, and other scientists. He visited the environs of Rio de Janeiro and probably made other short journeys before returning to Italy.
