| Ecology and distribution |
|
|
| Biology : |
Stems to 30-50 m long, circular in cross-section; leaves up to 3.5 m long; cirrus 1.5-1.8 m long; leaflets 2-4-folded, 25-40 on each side of the rachis, sigmoid, regularly inserted and more or less equal in size; inflorescences 2.5-3 m long; flowers 1-1.2 cm long and 3-3.5 mm wide; fruits ovoid-oblong, 1-1.2 cm long and 0.8-1.2 cm in diameter, in development covered with bright red scales, the latter becoming brown when ripe. |
|
| Ecology : |
This is a lowland high forest species, commonly found under a forest canopy. Ecological studies on the population structure, reproductive strategy and life history of this species in Ivory Coast were undertaken by Kouassi et al. (2008, 2009). |
| |
Most large diameter species of Laccosperma have been treated as a L. secundiflorum complex. |
