Davilla cearensis

Davilla cearensis is a member of the Dilleniaceae family, a group of flowering plants commonly known as the Dilleniaceae or collared-melons. The species is part of the genus Davilla, which includes several species found primarily in tropical regions of the Americas. This species is native to Brazil, where it occurs in the Northeast and North regions. It was formally described and published in 1901 by the botanist Huber. The species name 'cearensis' is likely derived from the Ceará region in northeastern Brazil, suggesting a possible origin or early discovery location in that area.
