Pouteria Ucuqui is very common in the northwestern- 
most part of the Brazilian State of Amazonas along the 
upper Rio Negro, from 'Tapurucuara (Santa Isabel) up- 
stream, and along its affuents: the Uaupés, Issana, 
Tikié, Curicuriari, Dimiti, and probably many others. 
It is known to occur in Colombia in the Rios Guainia 
(constituting the source of the Rio Negro) and on the 
Rio Caqueta. It has also been found on the Japura in 
Brazilian territory and has been reported from the Rio 
Solimoes (Le Cointe, P. ‘‘Arvores e plantas uteis’’ (1934) 
457). According to reliable reports, it occurs in certain 
places far into Venezuelan territory along the lower 
course of the Rio Guainia and on the Casiquiare itself.
