Dolichandra quadrivalvis

Dolichandra quadrivalvis is a member of the Bignoniaceae family and is found in various regions across South and Central America, including Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, and Mexico. It is primarily recognized by its oblong-shaped fruit, a distinguishing feature that sets it apart from other species within the Dolichandra genus, which typically have linear fruits. The species was formally described in 2008 by L.G. Lohmann, based on earlier work by Jacq. Biological data from the Floristic Inventory of the Iguaçu and Iguazú National Parks indicates that flowers were collected in May and August, but no fruiting data was recorded. This species contributes to the biodiversity of the Bignoniaceae family and is part of a broader distribution pattern across tropical and subtropical regions.
