Résumé

This study aims at revealing the true identity of Amanoa pubescens based on the analysis of specimens from herbaria, including types, by dissection of vegetative and reproductive structures under a stereomicroscope. An androphore was observed in the staminate flowers of A. pubescens in anthesis, a characteristic also observed in A. almerindae. A discussion on two specific epithets is presented. We have concluded that A. pubescens is a synonym of A. almerindae.
