Hedyosmum correanum is a species of plant in the Chloranthaceae family. It is endemic to Panama. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Background[edit]
According to Vol 6. of Systematic Botany by W. G. D'Arcy and Ronald L. Liesner Hedyosmum correanum does not have a large amount of research readily available as many popular plants or flowers might. At least as far as the taxonomy of the Hedyosmum in general is concerned.[2]
This plant is currently an endangered plant due to threats to habitat and has been known to be native of Panama.
Key known facts[edit]
However, there are still certain pieces of information available as they are similar to H.burgerianum in terms of size according to D'Arcy and Liesner.[2]
It is a member of the Hedyosmum callooso-serratum group as the fused involucre represents.[2]
Hedyosmum occurs in the West Indies, Central America and South America.[3]
"(It is) a shrubby species which occurs in small subpopulations of up to 3,000 m in cloud forests."[1]
Name origin[edit]
While the name is clearly associated with Genus Hedyosmum it is obvious the Correanum was given in reference to a professor of University of Panama, Prof. Mireya D. Correa A.
