It comprises small- to medium- sized trees, rarely canopy trees or shrubs, and only two species are lianas, Guatteria scandens Ducke (1925:10) and G. fractiflexa Maas \& Westra (2008: 491; Erkens et al. 2008). It is widely distributed throughout Mesoamerica, the Caribbean, and tropical South America (Erkens \& Maas 2008). Species of Guatteria are common members of Neotropical forests where they occupy a wide variety of habitats, such as lowland rain forests, gallery forests, semideciduous forests, coastal forests, inundated forests, savannas and montane forests (Erkens et al. 2007b). However, the highest species diversity is found in the Amazon Basin with approximately half of the species occurring there. Central America harbours ca. 30 species, mostly endemics (Erkens et al. 2008) of which ca. 20 species occur in Panama, a highly under-collected country with respect to Guatteria (Erkens et al. 2006). In the adjacent Colombian Choc{\'o} region, we found ca. ten endemic species, and to date, only two species, Guatteria aberrans Erkens \& Maas (2006: 201) and the new species described in this paper, are restricted to Panama and northwestern Colombia.}, keywords = {a new species, Annonaceae, Guatteria}, issn = {1179-3163}, doi = {10.11646/phytotaxa.173.2.5}, url = {https://www.biotaxa.org/Phytotaxa/article/view/phytotaxa.173.2.5}, author = {Guerrero, Susana Arias and Sanchez, Dario Sanchez and Maas, Paul J.

This study reconstructed the phylogeny of Guatteria and inferred three major biogeographical events in the history of the genus: (1) a trans-oceanic Miocene migration from Central into South America before the closing of the Isthmus of Panama; (2) a major diversification of the lineage within South America; and (3) several migrations of South American lineages back into Central America via the closed Panamanian land bridge. Therefore, Guatteria is not an Amazonian centred-genus sensu Gentry but a major Miocene diversification that followed its dispersal into South America.
