LEGUMINOSAE 
Inga macrophylla Humboldt & Bonpland ex 
Willdenow Sp. Pl. 4 (1806) 622. 
Inga macrophylla, which ranges from Venezuela to 
Peru and Bolivia, was first reported from Colombia by 
Uribe (in Caldasia 8, no. 14 (1945) 347), on the basis of 
material from the Intendencia del Meta. The second and 
third Colombian collections, cited below, greatly extend 
the known range of this species in Colombia. In the 
Colombian Amazonia, this species, cultivated for the 
edible pulp around the beans, is called guava machete or 
guamo machete. In the Tikuna Indian language, it is 
known as pa-md.
