Abstract

Most species of Diplusodon are subshrubs or shrubs, with only three taxa that are small trees (Fig. 3.1E): D. virgatus Pohl var. virgatus, D. ciliatiflorus T. B. Cavalc., and D. heringeri Lourteig. The trees grow to 2–4 m tall, with a slender unbranched trunk and a well-defined, much-branched crown. These taxa grow on the margins of gallery forests and cerrado woodlands. All other species in the genus are subshrubs or shrubs that can be sparsely to much-branched, with a single main stem.
