Abarema macradenia	Accepted	Abarema macradenia	pit1ma	Fabaceae-mimosoideae	(Pittier) Barneby & J.W. Grimes	Formerly Pithecellobium macradenium and appeared in 1996 paper under that old name. Pithecellobium was an enormously broad mix of of many taxa. Barnebey and Grimes (1996) did a detailed phylogeny of Ingeae, many of which (except Inga and Calliandra) were once Pithecellobium. The genus revisions do not alter species boundaries here. 
Acacia melanoceras	Obsolete	Vachellia melanoceras	acacme	Fabaceae-mimosoideae	Beurl.	See Acacia discussion with Vachellia melanoceras.
Acalypha diversifolia	Accepted	Acalypha diversifolia	acaldi	Euphorbiaceae	Jacq.	
Acalypha macrostachya	Accepted	Acalypha macrostachya	acalma	Euphorbiaceae	Jacq.	
Adelia triloba	Accepted	Adelia triloba	ade1tr	Euphorbiaceae	(Müll.Arg.) Hemsl.	
Aegiphila panamensis	Accepted	Aegiphila panamensis	aegipa	Lamiaceae	Moldenke	
Alchornea costaricensis	Accepted	Alchornea costaricensis	alchco	Euphorbiaceae	Pax & K.Hoffm.	
Alchornea latifolia	Accepted	Alchornea latifolia	alchla	Euphorbiaceae	Sw.	
Alibertia dwyeri	Accepted	Alibertia dwyeri	boropa	Rubiaceae	Delprete & C.H.Perss.	Formerly B. panamensis. Entire genus of Borojoa, with 3 species, collapsed into Alibertia, without any changes in species boundaries. The name dwyeri was necessary because there is another A. panamensis. There was a single sapling in this taxon since 1982 (died in 2015), but the name is not in Croat nor the 1996 paper. It must have been identified later?
Alibertia edulis	Accepted	Alibertia edulis	alibed	Rubiaceae	(Rich.) A.Rich. ex DC.	
Allophylus psilospermus	Accepted	Allophylus psilospermus	allops	Sapindaceae	Radlk.	
Alseis blackiana	Accepted	Alseis blackiana	alsebl	Rubiaceae	Hemsl.

Annona hayesii	Accepted	Annona hayesii	annoha	Annonaceae	Saff.	
Annona spraguei	Accepted	Annona spraguei	annosp	Annonaceae	Saff.	
Apeiba aspera	Obsolete	Apeiba membranacea	apeime	Malvaceae	Aubl.	Much confusion about identification of Apeiba glabra/membranacea/aspera. A. aspera is invalid. A. glabra is only Brazil and Guiana Shield. The BCI species is A. membrancea, but we mistakenly took this name from 2004 through 2015.
Apeiba hybrid	Accepted	Apeiba hybrid	apeihy	Malvaceae		
Apeiba membranacea	Accepted	Apeiba membranacea	apeime	Malvaceae	Spruce ex Benth.	This is Croat's name and is the accepted name for a widespread Central and South American species. But A. membranacea has regularly been misidentified as A. aspera, leading us to use that incorrect name for a period. We used A. membranaceae correctly through the 1996 paper, but then the incorrect A. aspera in the 2004 paper. We have now restored the correct A. membranacea. 
Apeiba tibourbou	Accepted	Apeiba tibourbou	apeiti	Malvaceae	Aubl.	
Aphelandra sinclairiana	Accepted	Aphelandra sinclairiana	aphesi	Acanthaceae	Nees	
Appunia seibertii	Accepted	Appunia seibertii	appuse	Rubiaceae	Standl.	Not in Croat but identified in 1982 census, and we used in the 1996 paper; now we have reverted to it as of 2017. Steyermark (1972) and Taylor and Steyermark (Flora of NG Shield) moved Appunia within a broad Morinda, but others, however, maintained Appunia separate. Later DNA phylogeny (Razafimandimbison 2009, 2011) shows Morinda to be polyphyletic. They decided to restore Appunia, and Tropicos follows this latest. 
Ardisia bartlettii	Accepted	Ardisia bartlettii	ardiba	Myrsinaceae	Lundell	
Ardisia fendleri	Obsolete	Ardisia standleyana	ardife	Myrsinaceae	Lundell	This taxon in Ardisia is in a state of confusion. Croat used this name, and we published it in both 1996 and 2004 papers. However, Pipoly reidentified one BCI specimen as A. standleyana in the 1980s, Fl. Nic. and Man CR use A. standleyana. However, Ricketson and Pipoly reverted most BCI specimens to A. fendleri since 2006. 
Ardisia guianensis	Accepted	Ardisia guianensis	ardigu	Myrsinaceae	(Aubl.) Mez	
Ardisia standleyana	Accepted	Ardisia standleyana	ardife	Myrsinaceae	P.H.Allen	This was formely A. fendleri, and appeared as that old name in 1996 and 2004 papers. We switched to A. standleyana subsequently. There is confusion, though, as Ricketson and Pipoly reverted most BCI specimens to A. fendleri after 2006. Moreover, A. copeyana appears on one BCI specimen, though it is otherwise only at high elevation. Must check Man. CR and Fl. Nic.
Aspidosperma cruenta	Obsolete	Aspidosperma desmanthum	aspicr	Apocynaceae		This was Croat’s name. It is a misspelling of A. cruentum, and we repeated the error in 1996 paper but corrected in 2004 paper.
Aspidosperma cruentum	Obsolete	Aspidosperma desmanthum	aspicr	Apocynaceae	Woodson	This is the correct spelling of Croat’s name (he wrote A. cruenta), and we had it correct in 2004 paper. This became A. spruceanum for a time, then A. desmanthum, but returns to A. cruentum as of 2018.
Aspidosperma desmanthum	Accepted	Aspidosperma desmanthum	aspicr	Apocynaceae		This genus is now in a state of confusion, largely because a PhD dissertation finished in 1999 (K. Potgieter), which makes many revisions, has not been published, so multiple names are still around. Potgieter advises that A. desmanthum should be used for the common BCI species. In the past, we used three other names: A. cruenta, A. cruentum, and A. spruceanum. The first is a misspelling, following Croat, and we published it in both the 1996 and 2004 papers. To put a cap on this, confusion goes full circle in 2018, with Morales restoring A. cruentum to Panama records, including BCI, contra Potgieter.
Aspidosperma spruceanum	Obsolete	Aspidosperma desmanthum	aspicr	Apocynaceae	Benth. ex Müll.Arg.	From as early as 1989, this name replaced A. cruentum for BCI specimens, mostly by Morales (see also Fl. Nic.). We started using it after 2004 in our database, but both 1996 and 2004 papers used the old misspelling, A. cruenta.
Astrocaryum standleyanum	Accepted	Astrocaryum standleyanum	ast1st	Arecaceae	L.H.Bailey	
Astronium graveolens	Accepted	Astronium graveolens	ast2gr	Anacardiaceae	Jacq.	
Attalea butyracea	Obsolete	Attalea rostrata	sch1zo	Arecaceae	(Mutis ex L.f.) Wess.Boer	We originally called this Scheelea zonensis, following Croat, and used that name in the 1996 paper. Henderson subsumed Scheelea under Attalea, and also merged the C. America species (A. rostrata) with the S. American A. butyracea; we used the latter in the 2004 paper. Foster (pers. comm.) believes they are distinct in habitat, but otherwise similar. Garwood (2009) treats the BCI species as A. rostrata, but Tropicos treats all as butyracea
Attalea rostrata	Accepted	Attalea rostrata	sch1zo	Arecaceae	Oerst.	Formerly Scheelea zonensis, and we published under that name in 1996 paper, then A. butyracea, which we used in 2004 paper. We are following Garwood, who used A. rostrata, the Central American form, distinct from S. American A. butyracea. Note that Tropicos still uses A. butyracea.
Bactris barronis	Accepted	Bactris barronis	bactba	Arecaceae	L.H.Bailey	
Bactris coloniata	Accepted	Bactris coloniata	bactc1	Arecaceae	L.H.Bailey	
Bactris coloradonis	Accepted	Bactris coloradonis	bactc2	Arecaceae	L.H.Bailey	
Bactris major	Accepted	Bactris major	bactma	Arecaceae	Jacq.	
Banara guianensis	Accepted	Banara guianensis	banagu	Salicaceae	Aubl.	Croat includes this taxon, but it did not appear in the 50-ha plot until the 1990 census, and it subsequently died out.
Beilschmiedia pendula	Obsolete	Beilschmiedia tovarensis	beilpe	Lauraceae	(Sw.) Hemsl.	Croat's identification, and the name we used for 30 years, including 1996 and 2004 paper. Reidentified as B. tovarensis in Nishida (1999) but we didn’t discover the change until later.
Beilschmiedia tovarensis	Accepted	Beilschmiedia tovarensis	beilpe	Lauraceae	(Klotzsch & H.Karst. ex Meisn.) Sachiko Nishida	We called this B. pendula for 30 years, and it appears under that name in 1996 and 2004 papers. But Nishida (1999) lists BCI specimens under B. tovarensis. He explains details of the differences at length, and they are subtle.
Bertiera guianensis	Accepted	Bertiera guianensis	bertgu	Rubiaceae	Aubl.	
Bombacopsis quinata	Obsolete	Pochota quinata	pochqu	Malvaceae		This was Croat’s name and we used it at the outset. Bombacopis has been in use for 100 years, but it has been debated about whether it is a synonym of Pochota or later, Pachira. Now this is back to Pochota quinata.
Bombacopsis sessilis	Obsolete	Pachira sessilis	pochse	Malvaceae		This was Croat’s name and we used it in 1982. Bombacopsis has been in use for 100 years, but it has been debated about whether it is a synonym of Pochota or later, Pachira. Now this is Pachira sessilis. See notes with Pachira quinata.
Borojoa panamensis	Obsolete	Alibertia dwyeri	boropa	Rubiaceae	Dwyer	Entire genus of Borojoa, with 3 species, collapsed into Alibertia, without any changes in species boundaries. This species has 1 tree in 50-ha plot, but it was not in 1996 paper. Croat does not include Borojoa.
Brosimum alicastrum	Accepted	Brosimum alicastrum	brosal	Moraceae	Sw.	
Brosimum guianense	Accepted	Brosimum guianense	brosgu	Moraceae	(Aubl.) Huber	Note misspelling in Appendix, but not main table, of 1996 paper.
Calophyllum longifolium	Accepted	Calophyllum longifolium	calolo	Clusiaceae	Willd.	
Capparidastrum frondosum	Accepted	Capparidastrum frondosum	cappfr	Capparaceae	(Jacq.) Cornejo & Iltis	Formerly Capparis frondosa. See notes under that name.
Capparis frondosa	Obsolete	Capparidastrum frondosum	cappfr	Capparaceae	Jacq.	This was Croat's name, and we used in 1996 and 2004 papers. Currently Capparidastrum frondosum. Hall (2008) gives a thorough explanation of phylogeny in Capparis. The old-world species are a separate clade, not close to American. So the American Capparis have been divided into 4 genera. See also Cornejo and Iltis (2008).
Carica cauliflora	Obsolete	Vasconcellea cauliflora	carica	Caricaceae		Croat’s name for the wild species of papaya, but now moved to genus Vasconcellea (Badillo 2000 in Ernstia). It was not found in the 50-ha until 2010, but we identified in other plots in the 1990s and used this old name then.
Casearia aculeata	Accepted	Casearia aculeata	caseac	Salicaceae	Jacq.	
Casearia arborea	Accepted	Casearia arborea	casear	Salicaceae	(Rich.) Urb.	
Casearia commersoniana	Accepted	Casearia commersoniana	caseco	Salicaceae	Cambess.	
Casearia guianensis	Accepted	Casearia guianensis	casegu	Salicaceae	(Aubl.) Urb.	
Casearia sylvestris	Accepted	Casearia sylvestris	casesy	Salicaceae	Sw.	
Cassia fruticosa	Obsolete	Senna dariensis	sennda	Fabaceae-caesalpinioideae		Croat's name, and we used it in 1982. Irwin and Barneby 1982 split Cassia into 3 genera, including Senna, and we had switched to S. dariensis by the late 1980s. Reviewed in Marazzi, with DNA phylogeny confirming monophyly of Senna. Croat indicates two forms on BCI but not distinct, one named C. f. var. gatunensis. 
Cassipourea elliptica	Accepted	Cassipourea elliptica	cassel	Rhizophoraceae	(Sw.) Poir.	
Cavanillesia platanifolia	Accepted	Cavanillesia platanifolia	cavapl	Malvaceae	(Bonpl.) Kunth	
Cecropia insignis	Accepted	Cecropia insignis	cecrin	Urticaceae	Liebm.	
Cecropia longipes	Accepted	Cecropia longipes	cecrlo	Urticaceae	Pittier	Included in Croat but did not appear in the 50-ha plot until 1995 census, so does not appear in 1996 paper.
Cecropia obtusifolia	Accepted	Cecropia obtusifolia	cecrob	Urticaceae	Bertol.	
Cedrela odorata	Accepted	Cedrela odorata	cedrod	Meliaceae	L.	
Ceiba pentandra	Accepted	Ceiba pentandra	ceibpe	Malvaceae	(L.) Gaertn.	
Celtis schippii	Accepted	Celtis schippii	celtsc	Cannabaceae	Standl.	
Cespedesia macrophylla	Obsolete	Cespedesia spathulata	cespma	Ochnaceae		Croat's used this name, but he misspelled it Cespedezia macrophylla. Now lumped under C. spathulata. BCI specimens at Tropicos reidentified as C. spathulata in 1992 (Liesner).
Cespedesia spathulata	Accepted	Cespedesia spathulata	cespma	Ochnaceae	(Ruiz & Pav.) Planch.	Formerly C. macrophylla. Cespedesia now considered monotypic, with nine names united under one widespread species. See Fl. Nic. We used the old species name, macrophylla, and Croat’s misspelling of the genus, so published this under Cespedezia macrophylla in both 1996 and 2004 papers.
Cespedezia macrophylla	Obsolete	Cespedesia spathulata	cespma	Ochnaceae		Croat used this incorrect spelling of Cespedesia macrophylla. We repeated the error in both 1996 and 2004 papers. On top of that, the species epithet was changed to C. spathulata (by 1992 at Tropicos, in 2001 Flora Nic), but we didn’t update our database until after 2004. 
Cestrum megalophyllum	Obsolete	Cestrum schlechtendahlii	cestme	Solanaceae	Dunal	Croat's name and we used in 1996 and 2004 papers. M. Nee (pers. comm.) and Hensold indicate this is a synonym of C. schlechtendahlii. Tropicos agrees. Must check published names (Knapp, Man CR??). Nee reidentified all Croat's BCI specimens as C. schlechtendahlii in 2013. 
Cestrum racemosum	Accepted	Cestrum racemosum	cestra	Solanaceae	Ruiz & Pav.	Croat included this taxon, but it did not appear in the 50-ha plot until the 2015 census.
Cestrum schlechtendahlii	Accepted	Cestrum schlechtendahlii	cestme	Solanaceae	G.Don	We originally followed Croat and used C. megalophyllum in 1996 and 2004 papers. Nee reidentified all Croat's BCI specimens as C. schlechtendahlii in 2013. This is a question of name priority for same species circumpscription?? See Manual CR. 
Chamaedorea tepejilote	Accepted	Chamaedorea tepejilote	cha1te	Arecaceae	Liebm.	Formerly C. wendlandiana, but we switched by the 1996 paper. Lumped by Henderson (1997).
Chamaedorea wendlandiana	Obsolete	Chamaedorea tepejilote	cha1te	Arecaceae		Croat's original name, and we used it at the outset. By 1996 paper, we had changed to C. tepejilote. Henderson (1997) collapsed several tax into C. tepejilote.
Chamguava schippii	Accepted	Chamguava schippii	cha2sc	Myrtaceae	(Standl.) Landrum	A small group of 3 rare C. American species, formerly Eugenia, moved to Psidium in 1963, and we initially used Croat’s name, Psidium anglohondurense. The new genus Chamguava was erected in 1991 by Landrum based on embryological details that separate it from Psidium; Chamguava is in a small group with Pimenta. The BCI population is the only one known s. of Guatemala, and one of 3 species only seen 3 times in the 1940s. No change in species boundaries. Huge DNA phylogeny (2015) does not include Chamguava, presumably due to rarity.
Chimarrhis parviflora	Accepted	Chimarrhis parviflora	chimpa	Rubiaceae	Standl.	
Chlorophora tinctoria	Obsolete	Maclura tinctoria	maclti	Moraceae		Currently Maclura tinctoria, following Berg (2001). The two genus names, Chorophora and Maclura, were used in parallel during the 19th century for the species tinctoria. It was after 1962 that Chlorophora was finally and permanently moved under Maclura. Berg (2001) summarizes. Croat did not have this species under either name. D'Arcy used Chlorophora.
Chrysochlamys eclipes	Accepted	Chrysochlamys eclipes	chr1ec	Clusiaceae	L.O.Williams	We originally followed Croat and used T. nicaraguensis, but now corrected to Chrysochlamys eclipses. We had switched to C. eclipes by 1996 paper, so no publication uses old name. See notes for T. nicaraguensis and Hammel (1999).
Chrysophyllum argenteum	Accepted	Chrysophyllum argenteum	chr2ar	Sapotaceae	Jacq.	We used this name by 1996 and 2004 papers. In Croat, this was Cynodendron panamense, but Pennington (1990) lumped several species under C. argenteum as a subspecies. The name Chrysophyllum panamense has also been used, but never in our data.
Chrysophyllum cainito	Accepted	Chrysophyllum cainito	chr2ca	Sapotaceae	L.	Pennington (1990) is certain this is not native to Panama.
Chrysophyllum panamense	Obsolete	Chrysophyllum argenteum	chr2ar	Sapotaceae		Synonym of Cynodendron panamense that we used briefly in 1980s. This became C. argenteum subsp. panamense in Pennington's monograph (1990), and we used Chr. argenteum in all publications.
Cinnamomum triplinerve	Accepted	Cinnamomum triplinerve	phoeci	Lauraceae	(Ruiz & Pav.) Kosterm.	This was formerly Phoebe cinnamomifolia, and appeared as such in 1996 and 2004 papers. Croat called in P. mexicanum. See Fl. Nic.
Clidemia dentata	Accepted	Clidemia dentata	clidde	Melastomataceae	Pav. ex D. Don	Clidemia is now moved within Miconia, but names are not yet transferred as of 2017.
Clidemia octona	Accepted	Clidemia octona	clidoc	Melastomataceae	(Bonpl.) L.O. Williams	Clidemia is now moved within Miconia, but names are not yet transferred as of 2017.
Clidemia septuplinervia	Accepted	Clidemia septuplinervia	clidse	Melastomataceae	Cogn.	Clidemia is now moved within Miconia, but names are not yet transferred as of 2017.
Cnemidaria petiolata	Obsolete	Cyathea petiolata	cnempe	Cyatheaceae		Genus Cnemidaria collapsed into much larger Cyathea.
Coccoloba coronata	Accepted	Coccoloba coronata	coccco	Polygonaceae	Jacq.	
Coccoloba manzanillensis	Obsolete	Coccoloba manzinellensis	coccma	Polygonaceae		This is Croat's misspelling of C. manzinellensis. We propagated the misspelling in the 1996 paper, but corrected it by the 2004 paper.
Coccoloba manzinellensis	Accepted	Coccoloba manzinellensis	coccma	Polygonaceae	Beurl.	We spelled this incorrectly in 1996, copying Croat's error C. manzanellensis. We propagated the misspelling in the 1996 paper, but corrected it by the 2004 paper.
Cojoba rufescens	Accepted	Cojoba rufescens	pit1ru	Fabaceae-mimosoideae	(Benth.) Britton & Rose	Formerly Pithecellobium rufescens, and appears as such in 1996 paper. But Pithecellobium was an enormously broad mix of of many taxa. Barnebey and Grimes (1996) did a detailed phylogeny of Ingeae, many of which (except Inga and Calliandra) were once Pithecellobium. Cojoba is related to Inga and Calliandra according to Barneby and Grimes. The genus revisions do not alter species boundaries here. 
Colubrina glandulosa	Accepted	Colubrina glandulosa	colugl	Rhamnaceae	Perkins	
Conostegia bracteata	Accepted	Conostegia bracteata	conobr	Melastomataceae	Triana	
Conostegia cinnamomea	Accepted	Conostegia cinnamomea	conoci	Melastomataceae	(Beurl.) Wurdack	
Cordia alliodora	Accepted	Cordia alliodora	cordal	Cordiaceae	(Ruiz & Pav.) Oken	
Cordia bicolor	Accepted	Cordia bicolor	cordbi	Cordiaceae	A.DC.	
Cordia lasiocalyx	Accepted	Cordia lasiocalyx	cordla	Cordiaceae	Pittier	
Coussarea curvigemmia	Accepted	Coussarea curvigemmia	cou2cu	Rubiaceae	Dwyer	
Coutarea hexandra	Accepted	Coutarea hexandra	couthe	Rubiaceae	(Jacq.) K.Schum.	
Crematosperma garwoods	Obsolete	Mosannona garwoodii	malmsp	Annonaceae		One name used in some early databases for the new Annonaceae, christened finally as a novel species, Mosannona garwoodii. Croat thought it was a novel Cremastosperma.
Crematosperma sp.	Obsolete	Mosannona garwoodii	malmsp	Annonaceae		Croat mentions this species as rare, citing a Garwood and Foster specimen, and likely new to science, but he misspelled the genus. It turned out to be very common in the 50-ha plot. We published as Malmea sp. nov. in 1996, then the final Mosannona garwoodii in 2004.
Croton billbergianus	Accepted	Croton billbergianus	crotbi	Euphorbiaceae	Müll.Arg.	
Cupania cinerea	Accepted	Cupania cinerea	cupaci	Sapindaceae	Poepp.	
Cupania latifolia	Accepted	Cupania latifolia	cupala	Sapindaceae	Kunth	
Cupania rufescens	Accepted	Cupania rufescens	cuparu	Sapindaceae	Triana & Planch.	
Cupania seemannii	Accepted	Cupania seemannii	cupasy	Sapindaceae	Triana & Planch.	Seemann himself named it C. sylvatica in 1853 (Voyage of the Heald), however in 1862 Triana and Planch changed to C. seemanni saying C. sylvatica was already in use for a Brazilian specimen. But Croat used the old C. sylvatica, though he indicated C. seemannii as a synonym.
Cupania sylvatica	Obsolete	Cupania seemannii	cupasy	Sapindaceae		Croat used this name, and we used it in 1996 and 2004 papers. But this was wrong, and C. seemannii has been valid for 150 years.
Cyathea petiolata	Accepted	Cyathea petiolata	cnempe	Cyatheaceae	(Hook.) R.M. Tryon	DNA phylogenies of tree ferns rearranged much traditional taxonomy. Cnemidaria is nested within Cyathea. No change species boundary.
Cynodendron panamense	Obsolete	Chrysophyllum argenteum	chr2ar	Sapotaceae	(Pittier) Aubrév.	Croat's name, but we had switched to Chrysophyllum panamense by start of 50-ha plot. Yet another taxonomic revision followed, and this appears as Chrysophyllum argenteum in 1996 and 2004 papers. Pennington (1990) placed Cynodendron within Chrysophyllum. Older treatments of Sapotaceae have gone back and forth on this, indeed, Croat lists Chrysophyllum panamense as a synonym. Morever, Pennington moved C. panamense under the widely distributed Chrysophyllum argenteum.
Cyphomandra hartwegii	Obsolete	Solanum circinatum	cyphha	Solanaceae		Croat’s name, we used it through the 1996 paper. Now known as Solanum circinatum. Bohs (1995) collapsed entire genus Cyphomandra into Solanum with no changes in species boundaries. 
Damburneya umbrosa	Accepted	Damburneya umbrosa	nectpu	Lauraceae	(Kunth) Trofimov	One group of Nectandra now split into this genus, an old name that had been subsumed into Nectandra, now resurrected on molecular results. This was originally Nectandra purpurea, reidentified as N. umbrosa, but the latter never go into the database (for BCI specimens, but yes for one at Sherman) or any publication. 
Dendropanax arboreus	Accepted	Dendropanax arboreus	dendar	Araliaceae	(L.) Decne. & Planch.	What we currently call all Dendropanax in the 50-ha plot, but variation may require 4 species. Some D. arboreus at BCI now recognized as D. caucanus by Cannon, or D. concinnus by N. Hensold (the latter not valid according to Tropicos). See Cannon and Cannon (1989) about variability of widespread D. arboreus, and Hensold suggests hybridization or introgression might be blurring boundaries. The group requires revision, and individuals within the plot may need to be divided. Garwood supports a division of Croat's D. arboreus into D. caucanus and D. arboreus. See also notes with D. stenodontus about yet another possible taxon.
Dendropanax stenodontus	Obsolete	Dendropanax arboreus	dendst	Araliaceae		Croat's key indicates differences between this and D. arboreus (adult size, leaf dentition), and Foster originally separated many individuals under this name. In 1996 paper, both D. stenodontus and D. arboreus appear. After that, we lumped all under D. arboreus. Cannon and Cannon are inconclusive about whether there might be a small-stature species, but D. stenodontus would not be the correct name. Possibly D. maritimus.
Desmopsis panamensis	Accepted	Desmopsis panamensis	des2pa	Annonaceae	(B.L.Rob.) Saff.	
Didymopanax morototoni	Obsolete	Schefflera morototoni	sch2mo	Araliaceae		The name in Croat, and we used this at the very beginning of the 50-ha censuses. Now Schefflera morotoni, and we had made the change by the late 1980s. The entire genus Didymopanax was collapsed into Schefflera (Frodin 1975), which is interestingly prior to the date of Croat's book.
Diospyros artanthifolia	Accepted	Diospyros artanthifolia	dio2ar	Ebenaceae	Mart. ex Miq.	
Dipteryx oleifera	Accepted	Dipteryx oleifera	diptpa	Fabaceae-papilionoideae	Benth.	Formerly D. panamensis. The two names appear to be used interchangeably for a species collected from Nicaragua through the Colombian choco, plus one in Ecuador. At Tropicos, de Lima named BCI specimens D. oleifera in 1986, but Klitgaard renamed D. panamensis in 2007. D. oleifera is the early name, but without specimens. The rules committee voted to accept it (Brummitt 2011).
Dipteryx panamensis	Obsolete	Dipteryx oleifera	diptpa	Fabaceae-papilionoideae		Croat's name, and we used it in 1996 paper. We have now switched to D. oleifera, though Fl Meso online is back to D. panamensis. Zamora (2010) uses D. panamensis but adds that D. oleifera might be correct.
Drypetes standleyi	Accepted	Drypetes standleyi	drypst	Putranjivaceae	G.L.Webster	
Elaeis oleifera	Accepted	Elaeis oleifera	elaeol	Arecaceae	(Kunth) Cortés	
Enterolobium schomburgkii	Accepted	Enterolobium schomburgkii	entesc	Fabaceae-mimosoideae	(Benth.) Benth.	
Erythrina costaricensis	Accepted	Erythrina costaricensis	ery1co	Fabaceae-papilionoideae	Micheli	
Erythroxylum macrophyllum	Accepted	Erythroxylum macrophyllum	ery2ma	Erythroxylaceae	Cav.	Formerly E. multiflorum, a name from Canal Area in 1940. Plowman synonomized it and other local names under the widespread and variable E. macrophyllum. See also Hammel et al (2010) treating E. multiflorum under this. Appendix of 1996 paper failed to list E. multiflorum as Croat’s name for this taxa.
Erythroxylum multiflorum	Obsolete	Erythroxylum macrophyllum	ery2ma	Erythroxylaceae		Croat’s name, but we had switched to E. macrophyllum in 1996 and 2004 papers, following Plowman1991. But Plowman acknowledges that E. multiflorum is distinctive, close to E. macrophyllum skutchii in Costa Rica and two other large-leaved subspecies of E. macrophyllum in S. America.
Erythroxylum panamense	Accepted	Erythroxylum panamense	ery2pa	Erythroxylaceae	Turcz.	
Eugenia coloradensis	Obsolete	Eugenia coloradoensis	eugeco	Myrtaceae		Croat's misspelling of E. coloradoensis. We repeated in 1996 paper but corrected in 2004.
Eugenia coloradoensis	Accepted	Eugenia coloradoensis	eugeco	Myrtaceae	Standl.	
Eugenia galalonensis	Accepted	Eugenia galalonensis	eugega	Myrtaceae	(C.Wright ex Griseb.) Krug & Urb.	
Eugenia nesiotica	Accepted	Eugenia nesiotica	eugene	Myrtaceae	Standl.	
Eugenia oerstedeana	Obsolete	Eugenia oerstediana	eugeoe	Myrtaceae		Croat’s misspelling of E. oerstediana, which we repeated in the 1996 paper.
Eugenia oerstediana	Accepted	Eugenia oerstediana	eugeoe	Myrtaceae	O.Berg	This was listed under Croat’s misspelling, E. oerstedeana, in the 1996 paper.
Faramea occidentalis	Accepted	Faramea occidentalis	faraoc	Rubiaceae	(L.) A.Rich.	
Ficus aurea	Obsolete	Ficus trigonata	ficutr	Moraceae	Nutt.	We used F. trigonata at least until 1996 paper, but F. aurea replaced it. This is a mistake; it's the Florida species and is not known on BCI (but is in western Panama). 
Ficus bullenei	Obsolete	Ficus matiziana	ficubu	Moraceae	I.M.Johnst.	Croat’s name, and we used it 1996 and 2004 papers. Berg (2009) synonomized with F. matiziana, a S. American species. Garwood (2009) continued with F. bullenei.
Ficus citrifolia	Accepted	Ficus citrifolia	ficuci	Moraceae	Mill.	
Ficus colubrinae	Accepted	Ficus colubrinae	ficuc1	Moraceae	Standl.	
Ficus costaricana	Accepted	Ficus costaricana	ficuc2	Moraceae	(Liebm.) Miq.	
Ficus insipida	Accepted	Ficus insipida	ficuin	Moraceae	Willd.	
Ficus matiziana	Accepted	Ficus matiziana	ficubu	Moraceae	Dugand	Formerly F. bullenei, following Croat, and appearing under that name in 1996 and 2004 papers. Garwood (2009) retained F. bullenei.
Ficus maxima	Accepted	Ficus maxima	ficuma	Moraceae	Mill.	
Ficus obtusifolia	Accepted	Ficus obtusifolia	ficuob	Moraceae	Kunth	
Ficus pertusa	Accepted	Ficus pertusa	ficupe	Moraceae	L.f.	
Ficus popenoei	Accepted	Ficus popenoei	ficupo	Moraceae	Standl.	
Ficus tonduzii	Accepted	Ficus tonduzii	ficuto	Moraceae	Standl.	
Ficus trigonata	Accepted	Ficus trigonata	ficutr	Moraceae	L.	Croat’s name and ours originally for the 50-ha plot, appearing in 1996 paper (though mispelled as F. trigonta). We then mistakely listed as F. aurea for several years. Garwood uses trigonata, but indicates a complex of distinct types. However, now Berg says Panama specimens should be F. crocata and that F. trigonata is restricted to the Antilles; he describes variation in detail.
Ficus trigonta	Obsolete	Ficus trigonata	ficutr	Moraceae		A publishing typo for F. trigonata in our 1996 paper.
Ficus yoponensis	Accepted	Ficus yoponensis	ficuyo	Moraceae	Desv.	
Garcinia intermedia	Obsolete	Garcinia recondita	gar2in	Clusiaceae	(Pittier) Hammel	Croat used the old name Rheedia edulis. Became Garcinia intermedia after Hammel (1989), who summarized various studies showing that Rheedia cannot be separated from Garcinia. As of 2015, however, G. intermedia at BCI was moved to G. recondita (see notes there).
Garcinia madruno	Accepted	Garcinia madruno	gar2ma	Clusiaceae	(Kunth) Hammel	Formerly R. acuminata. See notes for G. intermedia and Hammel (1989). We had switched before 1996, so this is in 1996 and 2004 papers.
Garcinia recondita	Accepted	Garcinia recondita	gar2in	Clusiaceae	Hammel	Hammel described this species around 2015, though still not published (Hammel pers. comm.). All BCI specimens of R. edulis/G. intermedia now identified at Tropicos as G. recondita, but G. intermedia remains valid elsewhere in Panama.
Genipa americana	Accepted	Genipa americana	geniam	Rubiaceae	L.	
Geonoma interrupta	Accepted	Geonoma interrupta	geonin	Arecaceae	(Ruiz & Pav.) Mart.	
Guapira standleyana	Accepted	Guapira standleyana	guapst	Nyctaginaceae	Woodson	We misspelled this G. standleyanum in the 1996 paper, copying the error from Croat.
Guapira standleyanum	Obsolete	Guapira standleyana	guapst	Nyctaginaceae		We used this misspelling from Croat for many years, and the name is spelled wrong in the 1996 paper. It should be G. standleyana.
Guarea bullata	Accepted	Guarea bullata	guarsp	Meliaceae	Radlk.	We finally identified the fuzzy-leaved Guarea morphospecies as this after 2004. G. bullata has been known in other parts of Panama since at least the 1960s. Impressed venation is distinctive, otherwise very similar and closely related to G. glabra.
Guarea fuzzy	Obsolete	Guarea bullata	guarsp	Meliaceae		Our temporary name for a Guarea with pubescent leaves in the 50 ha plot, by far the most abundant of unnamed morphospecies in the initial census. It is not at all like the two other Guarea on BCI. Finally identified as G. bullata,
Guarea grandifolia	Accepted	Guarea grandifolia	guargr	Meliaceae	(L.) Sleumer	BCI specimens of G. multiflora were renamed this before plot started (Pennington in 1979 on Mobot sheets, eg Croat 8443, 11300).
Guarea guidonia	Accepted	Guarea guidonia	guargu	Meliaceae	(L.) Sleumer	Identified as G. glabra in Croat. Foster reidentified by 1981; G. glabra should have glabrous ovary and few lenticels, small flowers relative to G. guidonia. 
Guarea multiflora	Obsolete	Guarea grandifolia	guargr	Meliaceae	Adr. Juss.	Croat's name for the large-leaved Guarea we call G. grandifolia in the 50-ha plot. We never used G. multiflora because Pennington re-identified Croat's BCI specimens in 1979. G. multiflora was named in Juisseau (1830) without any specimen or location; one of two Mobot specimens is a liana!. It does not appear in Pennington (2013), even the appendix.
Guarea sp. 1	Obsolete	Guarea bullata	guarsp	Meliaceae		Alternate name for G. fuzzy, later identified as G. bullata, used in Condit et al. (2004). Unfortunate, because Guarea sp.1 was applied to a species in plot 33 in 1996 and is still in use.
Guarea sp. nov.	Obsolete	Guarea bullata	guarsp	Meliaceae		Alternate name for G. fuzzy, later identified as G. bullata, used in Condit et al. (1996). This mistakenly suggests we thought it would be a newly named species, but it turned out not to be.
Guatteria dumetorum	Obsolete	Guatteria lucens	guatdu	Annonaceae	R.E.Fr.	Croat's name, and we followed for 30 years, appearing in 1996 and 2004 papers.. Maas (2015) decided to lump with G. lucens. 
Guatteria lucens	Accepted	Guatteria lucens	guatdu	Annonaceae	Standl.	We knew this as G. dumetorum for 30 years, and see notes there. Maas (2015) provides details about slight leaf differences between the dumetorum type and lucens type, but indicates that in all other ways the two are indistringuishable. Both types also have the same range, in Costa Rica and Panama, so though the species circumscription was widened by lumping, the range was not.
Guazuma ulmifolia	Accepted	Guazuma ulmifolia	guazul	Malvaceae	Lam.	
Guettarda foliacea	Accepted	Guettarda foliacea	guetfo	Rubiaceae	Standl.	
Gustavia superba	Accepted	Gustavia superba	gustsu	Lecythidaceae	(Kunth) O.Berg	
Hamelia axillaris	Accepted	Hamelia axillaris	hameax	Rubiaceae	Sw.	
Hamelia patens	Accepted	Hamelia patens	hamepa	Rubiaceae	Jacq.	
Hampea appendiculata	Accepted	Hampea appendiculata	hampap	Malvaceae	(Donn.Sm.) Standl.	
Handroanthus guayacan	Accepted	Handroanthus guayacan	tab1gu	Bignoniaceae	(Seem.) S.O.Grose	Formerly Tabebuia guayacan, and appeared as that name in 1996 and 2004 papers. Handroanthus is an old name, and morphological distinctions were known since the 19th century.
Hasseltia floribunda	Accepted	Hasseltia floribunda	hassfl	Salicaceae	Kunth	
Heisteria acuminata	Accepted	Heisteria acuminata	heisac	Erythropalaceae	(Humb. & Bonpl.) Engl.	Known as H. longipes in Croat, but we used this name from the very start, and it appears in both 1996 and 2004 paper use this. Sleumer explains that Heisteria are not identifiable based only on flowers or fruits and leaves are needed. He collapsed many local species under H. acuminata, and all Tropicos specimens formerly called H. longipes now identified as H. acuminata by S. Knapp, R. Liesner, H. Sleumer.
Heisteria concinna	Accepted	Heisteria concinna	heisco	Erythropalaceae	Standl.	
Heisteria longipes	Obsolete	Heisteria acuminata	heisac	Erythropalaceae	Standl.	Croat's name, following Standley for Panama specimens. He describes range as Colombia-Costa Rica. Sleumer monograph lumps under H. acuminata after viewing many BCI specimens. We never used this name.
Herrania purpurea	Accepted	Herrania purpurea	herrpu	Malvaceae	(Pittier) R.E. Schult.	
Hieronyma alchorneoides	Accepted	Hieronyma alchorneoides	hyeral	Euphorbiaceae	Allemão	Franco reidentified BCI specimens in 1989 and published a major revision, collapsing H. laxiflora and other widespread varieties. Major broadening of range, however many local names are still listed as valid at Tropicos. Franco recognizes two varieties of H. alchorneoides, both among Croat's BCI specimens, but this is stipule difference between adults and juveniles (Hensold).
Hirtella americana	Accepted	Hirtella americana	hirtam	Chrysobalanaceae	L.	
Hirtella triandra	Accepted	Hirtella triandra	hirttr	Chrysobalanaceae	Sw.	
Hura crepitans	Accepted	Hura crepitans	huracr	Euphorbiaceae	L.	
Hybanthus prunifolius	Obsolete	Pombalia prunifolia	hybapr	Violaceae	(Humb. & Bonpl. ex Schult.) Schulze-Menz	Croat's name, and we used for 35 years and published in 1996 and 2004. de Paula Souza and Ballard (2014) revised Hybanthus based on polyphyly shown by DNA phylogeny. Several new genera will be needed. 
Hyeronima alcheornoides	Obsolete	Hieronyma alchorneoides	hyeral	Euphorbiaceae		This is an unfortunate typo in the 1996 paper. The species name should be alchorneoides. Separately, the genus should be Hieronyma, but this error follows Croat. See notes with Hyeronima laxiflora.
Hyeronima laxiflora	Obsolete	Hieronyma alchorneoides	hyeral	Euphorbiaceae		Croat's name, note misspelling of genus (an old problem due to two spellings in original description). We originally used this name in 50-ha plot. Franco1990 synonomized under H. alchorneoides.
Inga acuminata	Accepted	Inga acuminata	ingas1	Fabaceae-mimosoideae	Benth.	Originally censused as Inga skinny, an unidentified morphospecies. Croat did not include this species, and we finally got it identified in 1989 (Zamora). It was not (??) known in Panama until then. We had it as I. acuminata in the 1996 paper.
Inga cocleensis	Accepted	Inga cocleensis	ingaco	Fabaceae-mimosoideae	Pittier	The identification of this species in the 50-ha plot has been reassessed. See detailed notes under I. thibaudiana and I. unidentified.
Inga fagifolia	Obsolete	Inga laurina	ingafa	Fabaceae-mimosoideae		We followed Croat and used this name at the outset, and it appears in the 1996 paper. Now synonomized with I. laurina, following Pennington's (1997) revision of the entire genus, and I. laurina appears in the 2004 paper. Tropicos specimens from BCI identified as I. laurina by Sousan in 1990 or Pennington in 1996.
Inga goldmanii	Accepted	Inga goldmanii	ingago	Fabaceae-mimosoideae	Pittier	
Inga laurina	Accepted	Inga laurina	ingafa	Fabaceae-mimosoideae	(Sw.) Willd.	Originally I. fagifolia, following Croat, but I. laurina was synonomized with I. fagifolia in Pennington's (1997) revision of the entire genus. We used I. fagifolia in the 1996 paper but I. laurina in the 2004 paper.
Inga marginata	Accepted	Inga marginata	ingama	Fabaceae-mimosoideae	Willd.	
Inga minutula	Obsolete	Inga oerstediana	ingami	Fabaceae-mimosoideae		We followed Croat and used this name at the outset, and it appears in the 1996 paper. Now synonomized with I. oerstediana in Pennington's (1997). Tropicos specimens from BCI identified as I. oerstediana by Sousan in 1990.
Inga mucuna	Accepted	Inga mucuna	ingam1	Fabaceae-mimosoideae	Walp. & Duchass.	
Inga nobilis	Accepted	Inga nobilis	ingaqu	Fabaceae-mimosoideae	Willd.	Originally I. quaternata, following Croat, but we now follow Pennington (1997), in which I. quaternata was synonomized with I. nobilis. In 2004 paper, we had changed to this. C. American specimens are subsp. quaternata, and S. American are subsp. nobilis, but Pennington explains that there are intermediates in between and sometime one plant mixes the two different flower forms. We used I. quaternata in the 1996 paper but I. nobilis in the 2004 paper. See notes on recent confusion under I. quaternata.
Inga oerstediana	Accepted	Inga oerstediana	ingami	Fabaceae-mimosoideae	Benth.	Originally I. minutula, following Croat, and appeared as such in the 1996 paper. Pennington's (1997) synonomized I. minutula under I. oerstediana, and Tropicos BCI specimens were identified as I. oerstediana in 1990 (Sousa). I. oerstediana is closely related to and possibly conspecific with I. edulis.
Inga pavoniana	Obsolete	Inga sapindoides	ingasa	Fabaceae-mimosoideae		A name appearing at Tropicos now, along with I. marginata.. It is accepted by Sousa (1993), and C. Romero applies at Tropicos. But N. Hensold points out I. marginata has priority, and Pennington and Man CR both use the latter.
Inga pezizifera	Accepted	Inga pezizifera	ingape	Fabaceae-mimosoideae	Benth.	
Inga punctata	Accepted	Inga punctata	ingapu	Fabaceae-mimosoideae	Willd.	
Inga quaternata	Obsolete	Inga nobilis	ingaqu	Fabaceae-mimosoideae		We followed Croat and used this in 1996 paper. I. quaternata was synonomized with I. nobilis in Pennington's (1997) revision of the entire genus, and use I. nobilis in 2004 paper. Confusion remains, though, with the name I. quaternata still appearing: Tropicos specimens from BCI identified as I. quaternata by C. Romero in 2006.  Note confusion also in Zamora (2010), mentioning both names I. nobilis subsp. quaternata and I. quaternata as if they are distinct taxa.
Inga ruiziana	Accepted	Inga ruiziana	ingaru	Fabaceae-mimosoideae	G.Don	
Inga sapindoides	Accepted	Inga sapindoides	ingasa	Fabaceae-mimosoideae	Willd.	Sousa (1993) argues that I. pavoniana should be used, because original specimen of I. sapindoides lacked flowers and is questionable. Tropicos specimens IDed by C. Romero in 2006 as I. pavoniana (also R. Gereult in 1994). Pennington synonomizes the latter under I. sapindoides and has no discussion of the problem.
Inga semialata	Obsolete	Inga marginata	ingama	Fabaceae-mimosoideae		A name in use at Tropicos because Sousa uses it, but Pennington and Man CR use I. marginata. N. Henshold says I. marginata has precedence.
Inga skinny	Obsolete	Inga acuminata	ingas1	Fabaceae-mimosoideae		An Inga with narrow leaflets not identified in the first census. In 1989, identified as I. acuminata. 
Inga spectabilis	Accepted	Inga spectabilis	ingasp	Fabaceae-mimosoideae	(Vahl) Willd.	
Inga thibaudiana	Accepted	Inga thibaudiana	ingath	Fabaceae-mimosoideae	DC.	Included in Croat, but not recognized in the 50-ha plot until 2005, when it was separated from I. coclensis for the first time. Many trees previously known as I. coclensis had been alive since 1982, so we know that I. thibaudiana has always been part of the 50-ha plot.
Inga umbellifera	Accepted	Inga umbellifera	ingaum	Fabaceae-mimosoideae	(Vahl) Steud.	
Inga unidentified	Accepted	Inga unidentified	ingaun	Fabaceae-mimosoideae		The Inga species I. coclensis and I. thibaudiana were reassessed in 2005, and many individuals of I. coclensis were reidentified as I. thibaudiana. Any tree known as I. coclensis that had died by 2005 could not be revisited, and all those had to be switched to I. unidentified. 
Jacaranda copaia	Accepted	Jacaranda copaia	jac1co	Bignoniaceae	(Aubl.) D.Don	
Jacaratia spinosa	Accepted	Jacaratia spinosa	jac2sp	Caricaceae	(Aubl.) A.DC.	Croat included this taxon, but it did not appear in the 50-ha plot until the 2015 census.
Koanophyllon wetmorei	Accepted	Koanophyllon wetmorei	koanwe	Asteraceae	(B.L.Rob.) R.M.King & H.Rob.	
Lacistema aggregatum	Accepted	Lacistema aggregatum	laciag	Lacistemataceae	(P.J.Bergius) Rusby	
Lacmellea panamensis	Accepted	Lacmellea panamensis	lacmpa	Apocynaceae	(Woodson) Markgr.	
Laetia procera	Accepted	Laetia procera	laetpr	Salicaceae	(Poepp.) Eichler	
Laetia thamnia	Accepted	Laetia thamnia	laetth	Salicaceae	L.	
Lafoensia punicifolia	Accepted	Lafoensia punicifolia	lafopu	Lythraceae	DC.	
Leandra dichotoma	Accepted	Leandra dichotoma	leandi	Melastomataceae	(Pav. ex D. Don) Cogn.	Leandra is now moved within Miconia, but names are not yet transferred as of 2017.
Licania hypoleuca	Accepted	Licania hypoleuca	licahy	Chrysobalanaceae	Benth.	
Licania platypus	Accepted	Licania platypus	licapl	Chrysobalanaceae	(Hemsl.) Fritsch	
Lindackeria laurina	Accepted	Lindackeria laurina	lindla	Achariaceae	C. Presl	
Lonchocarpus heptaphyllus	Accepted	Lonchocarpus heptaphyllus	loncla	Fabaceae-papilionoideae	(Poir.) DC.	The species appears as L. latifolia in the 1996 paper then L. latifolius in the 2004 paper (the latter is correct). Croat knew this as L. pentaphyllus. Zamora2010a synonomized L. latifolius under this.
Lonchocarpus latifolia	Obsolete	Lonchocarpus heptaphyllus	loncla	Fabaceae-papilionoideae		An incorrect spelling for L. latifolius that we used in the 1996 paper. But that name is now obsolete, and this goes by L. heptaphyllus.
Lonchocarpus latifolius	Obsolete	Lonchocarpus heptaphyllus	loncla	Fabaceae-papilionoideae		This was our first name for the Lonchocarpus species in the 50-ha plot. Croat knew it as L. pentaphyllus. Zamora (2010) synonomized L. latifolius and L. pentaphyllus under L. heptaphyllus.
Lonchocarpus pentaphyllus	Obsolete	Lonchocarpus heptaphyllus	loncla	Fabaceae-papilionoideae	(Poir.) DC.	Croat’s name, now considered a synonym of L. heptaphyllus (Zamora 2010). 
Lopimia dasypetala	Obsolete	Pavonia dasypetala	lopida	Malvaceae		This was Croat's name, and we used in both 1996 and 2004 papers. Now considered Pavonia dasypetala. Lopimia was described in 1823, but frequently treated under Pavonia since the 19th century. Differs in mucilage on fruits. No Pavonia DNA phylogeny is available. 
Lozania pittieri	Accepted	Lozania pittieri	lozapi	Lacistemataceae	(S.F.Blake) L.B.Sm.	
Luehea seemannii	Accepted	Luehea seemannii	luehse	Malvaceae	Triana & Planch.	
Lycianthes maxonii	Accepted	Lycianthes maxonii	lycima	Solanaceae	Standl.	
Maclura tinctoria	Accepted	Maclura tinctoria	maclti	Moraceae	(L.) D.Don ex Steud.	This was listed as Chlorophora tinctoria in the 2004 paper, but M. tinctoria in the 1996 paper. Neither name appears in Croat, and D'Arcy used Chlorophora. Our brief use of Chorophora was erroneous, since  Berg's (2001) monograph clearly used Maclura.
Macrocnemum glabrescens	Obsolete	Macrocnemum roseum	macrgl	Rubiaceae		Croat's name and our original name, appearing in 1996 paper. Changed to M. roseum after 2000.
Macrocnemum roseum	Accepted	Macrocnemum roseum	macrgl	Rubiaceae	(Ruiz & Pav.) Wedd.	Formerly M. glabrescens, but that C. American form was lumped under this widespread S. American species (Taylor pers. comm.). Appears as M. glabrescens in 1996 paper. [I need Lorence 1999 on C. American Rubiaceae.]
Malmea garwood's	Obsolete	Mosannona garwoodii	malmsp	Annonaceae		One name used in some early databases for the new Annonaceae, christened finally as a novel species, Mosannona garwoodii. 
Malmea Nancy??	Obsolete	Mosannona garwoodii	malmsp	Annonaceae		One name used in some early databases for the new Annonaceae, christened finally as a novel species, Mosannona garwoodii. For a period in the early censuses, we thought it might be a novel Malmea.
Malmea sp. nov.	Obsolete	Mosannona garwoodii	malmsp	Annonaceae		This was the name we used in the 1996 paper for the novel Annonaceae, later described as Mosannona garwoodii. 
Malpighia romeroana	Accepted	Malpighia romeroana	malpro	Malpighiaceae	Cuatrec.	
Maquira costaricana	Obsolete	Maquira guianensis	maquco	Moraceae		We took this name from Croat and used through the 1996 paper, but switched to M. guianensis for 2004 paper, following Berg (1972). With more specimens of M. guianensis from Ecuador, Berg could no longer separate M. costaricensus (Ecuador and north) and M. guianensis (across S. America). Now, Berg (2001) considers the former a subspecies of the latter. 
Maquira guianensis	Accepted	Maquira guianensis	maquco	Moraceae	Aubl.	Formerly M. costaricana. We switched after Berg (2001), and the 2004 paper used M. guianensis. See notes with M. costaricana.
Margaritaria nobilis	Accepted	Margaritaria nobilis	margno	Phyllanthaceae	L.f.	Croat includes this taxon on BCI, but we did not identify in the 50-ha plot until 1990. A few individuals were in the census from the start, but remained unidentified until then.
Marila laxiflora	Accepted	Marila laxiflora	mar1la	Clusiaceae	Rusby	
Maytenus schippii	Accepted	Maytenus schippii	maytsc	Celastraceae	Lundell	
Miconia affinis	Accepted	Miconia affinis	micoaf	Melastomataceae	DC.	
Miconia argentea	Accepted	Miconia argentea	micoar	Melastomataceae	(Sw.) DC.	
Miconia dorsiloba	Accepted	Miconia dorsiloba	micodo	Melastomataceae	Gleason	Originally called morphospecies Miconia sp.15 2000, identified as M. dorsiloba in 2005. Does not appear in Croat.
Miconia elata	Accepted	Miconia elata	micoel	Melastomataceae	(Sw.) DC.	
Miconia hondurensis	Accepted	Miconia hondurensis	micoho	Melastomataceae	Donn. Sm.	
Miconia impetiolaris	Accepted	Miconia impetiolaris	micoim	Melastomataceae	(Sw.) D. Don ex DC.	
Miconia nervosa	Accepted	Miconia nervosa	micone	Melastomataceae	(Sm.) Triana	
Miconia prasina	Accepted	Miconia prasina	micopr	Melastomataceae	(Sw.) DC.	
Miconia sp.15	Obsolete	Miconia dorsiloba	mico15	Melastomataceae		A Miconia new to the 50-ha plot recruited in 2000. It remained until 2005, when another recruited. It was then identified as M. dorsiloba.
Morinda seibertii	Obsolete	Appunia seibertii	appuse	Rubiaceae	(Standl.) Steyerm.	We originally used Appunia seibertii, but then followed Steyermark (1972) in moving Appunia within the broad Morinda. But recent DNA phylogeny reinstated Appunia. See more notes there.
Mosannona garwoodii	Accepted	Mosannona garwoodii	malmsp	Annonaceae	Chatrou & Welzenis	The official species name, maintaining Nancy Garwood's, described by Chatrou (1998). This correct version appeared in our 2004 paper. The species was thus first described from the BCI 50-ha plot. It is very distinctive, and common in the plot. It had several morphospecies names before the final description, including the genera Malmea and Cremastosperma. Croat called in Crematosperma sp., misspelling the genus.
Mosannona garwoods	Obsolete	Mosannona garwoodii	malmsp	Annonaceae		One briefly used name for the new Annonaceae, after P. Maas saw it and placed it in a new Neotropical genus. Chatrou (1998) eventually christened it as a novel species, Mosannona garwoodii.
Mouriri myrtilloides	Accepted	Mouriri myrtilloides	mourmy	Melastomataceae	(Sw.) Poir.	
Myrcia gatunensis	Obsolete	Myrcia splendens tip. gatunensis	myrcga	Myrtaceae	Standl.	The name from Croat, and we used in 1996 paper and onward until 2017. Tropicos, citing Flora Mesoamerica and Flora Costa Rica, merges into M. splendens, a very widespread neotropical species. FMNH specimens also use M. splendens, det by Kawasaki 2005. But we have M. splendens separate (formerly myrc3), including many individuals of M. gatunensis and M. splendens together in plot 6. Kawasaki (pers. comm.) acknowledges that M. splendens is variable and needs revision. For now, we maintain M. gatunensis.
Myrcia splendens tip. gatunensis	Accepted	Myrcia splendens tip. gatunensis	myrcga	Myrtaceae	(Sw.) DC.	See sp.3, the morphospecies eventually identified as this. See also M. gatunensis, whose BCI specimens are now identified as M. splendens. However, plot 6 has many individuals of both this species and M. gatunensis growing side by side.
Myrospermum frutescens	Accepted	Myrospermum frutescens	myrofr	Fabaceae-papilionoideae	Jacq.	Not in Croat but we identified in 1982 census.
Nectandra cissiflora	Accepted	Nectandra cissiflora	nectci	Lauraceae	Nees	
Nectandra fuzzy	Accepted	Nectandra fuzzy	nects1	Lauraceae		An unidentified Lauraceae, tentatively placed in genus Nectandra. We have most consistently called it Nectandra fuzzy, but it was listed as Nectandra sp. nov. 1 in the 1996 paper, though we are not certain it's a novel species. The 50-ha plot has 11 individuals assigned the name. 
Nectandra globosa	Obsolete	Nectandra lineata	nectgl	Lauraceae		This is Croat's name, and we originally used it. But Croat's BCI specimens are now identified as N. lineata (Rohwer 1993). N. globosa is valid but only occurs in Guyana. We used N. globosa in the 1996 paper, but the corrected N. lineata in the 2004 paper. 
Nectandra lineata	Accepted	Nectandra lineata	nectgl	Lauraceae	(Kunth) Rohwer	Our current identification for this Nectandra, following Rohwer (1993) who explains the source of Croat's mistaken identifcation as N. globosa.
Nectandra purpurascens	Obsolete	Damburneya umbrosa	nectpu	Lauraceae	(Ruiz & Pav.) Mez	Croat used this name, but it is an error. Authority given by Croat matches that of N. purpurea, so Rowher assumed that's what Croat meant.
Nectandra purpurea	Obsolete	Damburneya umbrosa	nectpu	Lauraceae	(Ruiz & Pav.) Mez	We used this in 1996 and 2004 papers, following but correcting Croat's name (he mispelled it as N. purpurascens). But Rohwer (1993) identified BCI specimens as N. umbrosa (N. purpurea is valid, and similar, but not on BCI).  As of 2016, though, this section of Nectandra was moved into genus Damburneya, so now we call it D. umbrosa. Note, however, that van der Werff in 2016 IDed Croat 5053 from BCI as D. purpurea at same time as he named all other BCI specimens as D. umbrosa. 
Nectandra savannarum	Obsolete	Damburneya umbrosa	nectpu	Lauraceae	(Standl. & Steyerm.) C.K. Allen	We never used this in 50-ha plot data. Croat used it for a single specimen from BCI (Foster 960 at Tropicos), matching it to a species described in Guatemalan savanna (Allen 1945). That one specimen was later determined (on Tropicos specimen) to be the same as the other common Nectandra (now Damburneya umbrosa, what Croat called N. purpurascens). 
Nectandra sp._4	Obsolete	Nectandra sp.4_(tiny_leaf)	nects3	Lauraceae		
Nectandra sp.4_(tiny_leaf)	Accepted	Nectandra sp.4_(tiny_leaf)	nects3	Lauraceae		This extremely rare Lauraceae, with just one individual in the 1982 census of the 50-ha plot, was never identified, and we are not certain it is a Nectandra. The single individual died after 1985 and we have never seen it elsewhere, so it will probably never be identified. It had very small leaves, hence the morphospecies name, but it was listed as Nectandra sp. nov. 3 in the 1996 paper.  The combination of sp. 4 and sp. 3  as parts of the name for the same morphospecies resulted from confusion caused by several other unidentified Nectandra in our Panama database.  
Nectandra sp.nov.1	Obsolete	Nectandra fuzzy	nects1	Lauraceae		This is an alternative name for the unidentified morphospecies we call Nectandra  fuzzy. It was coined for the 1996 paper to sound more professional than N. fuzzy.
Nectandra sp.nov.3	Obsolete	Nectandra sp.4_(tiny_leaf)	nects3	Lauraceae		This is an alternative name for the unidentified morphospecies we refer to as Nectandra  sp.4_(tiny_leaf) in all databases. It was coined for the 1996 paper. The combination of sp. 4 and sp. 3  as parts of the name for the same morphospecies resulted from confusion caused by several other unidentified Nectandra in our Panama database.  
Nectandra umbrosa	Obsolete	Damburneya umbrosa	nectum	Lauraceae	(Kunth) Mez	Rolando used this name in Santa Rita transect, but he says it is same as BCI specimens with code NECTPU. So all taxa we once called N. purpurea are now Damburneya umbrosa, maintaining code NECTPU. At BCI we never used N. umbrosa, because by the time we discovered Rowher's reidentification of N. purpurea, it had been transferred to the genus Damburneya. 
Neea amplifolia	Accepted	Neea amplifolia	neeaam	Nyctaginaceae	Donn.Sm.	
Ochroma pyramidale	Accepted	Ochroma pyramidale	ochrpy	Malvaceae	(Cav. ex Lam.) Urb.	
Ocotea cernua	Accepted	Ocotea cernua	ocotce	Lauraceae	(Nees) Mez	
Ocotea oblonga	Accepted	Ocotea oblonga	ocotob	Lauraceae	(Meisn.) Mez	
Ocotea puberula	Accepted	Ocotea puberula	ocotpu	Lauraceae	(Rich.) Nees	Croat called this O. pyramidata, but we changed to O. puberula by the late 1980s. Van der Weff had already named BCI specimens O. puberula in 1983. See Van der Werff (2002).
Ocotea pyrimidata	Obsolete	Ocotea puberula	ocotpu	Lauraceae		Croat's named, and we used at the start of the 50-ha plot. We had switched to O. puberula before 1990, and both 1996 and 2004 papers list it as O. puberula. See notes with O. puberula.
Ocotea skutchii	Obsolete	Ocotea whitei	ocotwh	Lauraceae		Croat used this name, and we followed Croat at the very beginning. By the late 1980s, we switched to O. whitei, and both 1996 and 2004 paper used O. whitei. Van der Werff (2002) published the synonomy.
Ocotea whitei	Accepted	Ocotea whitei	ocotwh	Lauraceae	Woodson	Croat used O. skutchii, but that name was synonomized soon after his book. See van der Werff (2002), who acknowledged variability of O. whitei.
Oenocarpus mapora	Accepted	Oenocarpus mapora	oenoma	Arecaceae	H.Karst.	Formerly O. panamanus, in Croat and in the first census. 
Oenocarpus mapoura	Obsolete	Oenocarpus mapora	oenoma	Arecaceae		This is a misspelling of O. mapora that appeared in our 1996 paper. We spelled it correctly in 2004 paper.
Oenocarpus panamanus	Obsolete	Oenocarpus mapora	oenoma	Arecaceae		Croat's name, a name used only in Costa Rica and Panama. We used it at the start of the 50-ha plot but had switched to O. mapora by the late 1980s. Henderson1997 officially lumped this with the widespread O. mapora, along with several other local names in the genus.
Olmedia aspera	Obsolete	Trophis caucana	olmeas	Moraceae		Our early name, from Croat, now Trophis caucana. Berg (1972) in early Moraceae monograph separated this as a monotypic genus from its earlier inclusion in Trophis. In Berg (1988, 2001), he reversed, saying that Trophis morphology had expanded with T. involucrata, and the wider variation accommodates Olmedia. 
Oreopanax capitatus	Accepted	Oreopanax capitatus	oreoca	Araliaceae	(Jacq.) Decne. & Planch.	Croat includes this, but it did not appear in the 50-ha plot until 2010. The sole individual then died by 2015.
Ormosia amazonica	Accepted	Ormosia amazonica	ormoam	Fabaceae-papilionoideae	Ducke	Not in Croat but identified in 1982 census.
Ormosia coccinea	Accepted	Ormosia coccinea	ormocr	Fabaceae-papilionoideae	(Aubl.) Jacks.	Current identification for a moderately common tree in the plot. Croat listed this form as O. croatii, an unofficial name, but it has been identified at Tropicos in 1978 (MO Dillon). N. Zamora confirmed in 2007 (pers. Comm. To N. Hensold).
Ormosia croatii	Obsolete	Ormosia coccinea	ormocr	Fabaceae-papilionoideae		Croat used this name, but it is not a published name. Later, MO Dillon and N. Zamora identified this as O. coccinea.
Ormosia macrocalyx	Accepted	Ormosia macrocalyx	ormoma	Fabaceae-papilionoideae	Ducke	
Ouratea lucens	Accepted	Ouratea lucens	ouralu	Ochnaceae	(Kunth) Engl.	
Pachira quinata	Obsolete	Pochota quinata	pochqu	Malvaceae	(Jacq.) W.S.Alverson	Croat used Bombacopsis quinata, but by 1996 paper we had updated to Pochota quinata, then we changed to Pachira quinata by 2004 paper. But now we have to go back to Pochota quinata, following a recent DNA phylogeny. This makes the nomenclatural history of this taxon the most confusing of all in our database. The genera Bombacopsis, Pochota, and Pachira have been variously used due to taxonomic disagreement. They were coined in 1916, 1909, and 1775 respectively, and there has been a decades long argument about whether Bombacopsis and Pochota refer to the same plants and which takes precedence. At BCI, we originally followed Croat and used Bombacopsis, but Stevens (1987) argued in favor of Pochota as the earlier name. Subsequently, Alverson (1994) argued that they should all fall within Pachira, because none of the characters used to separate Pochota from Pachira were consistent; he acknowledged they may be separate but more evidence was needed. Sure enough, a DNA phylogeny from 2011 does not support Pachira, unless Eriotheca and Bombax are subsumed, and the genus Pochota was again resurrected for P. quinata (but not P. sessilis, which belongs in Pachira).
Pachira sessilis	Accepted	Pachira sessilis	pochse	Malvaceae	Benth.	Bombacopsis sessilis according to Croat. In 1996 paper, it appeared as Pochota sessilis, but we updated to Pachira sessilis for 2004 paper. See genus discussion under P. quinata
Palicourea acuminata	Accepted	Palicourea acuminata	psycac	Rubiaceae	(Benth.) Borhidi	Formerly Psychotria acumintata. Several psychotria moved to Palicourea due to improved character understanding (see Psych. acuminata).
Palicourea brachiata	Accepted	Palicourea brachiata	psycb1	Rubiaceae	(Sw.) Borhidi	Formerly Psychotria brachiata, and appearing under that old name in 1996 paper.
Palicourea cuspidata	Obsolete	Palicourea acuminata	psycac	Rubiaceae	(Benth.) Borhidi	This was an error and is now corrected to P. acuminata. The mistake traces to misidentification of Psychotria acuminata as P. cuspidata in Panama (Taylor pers. comm.). When moving the name under Palicourea, we carried the incorrect new combination for a short time. Croat has the correct Psychotria acuminata and mentions the confusion with Psychotria cuspidata.
Palicourea cyanococca	Accepted	Palicourea cyanococca	psycpi	Rubiaceae	(Seem. ex Dombrain) Borhidi	
Palicourea deflexa	Accepted	Palicourea deflexa	psycde	Rubiaceae	(DC.) Borhidi	Formerly Psychotria deflexa, and appearing under that old name in 1996 and 2004 papers.
Palicourea guianensis	Accepted	Palicourea guianensis	paligu	Rubiaceae	Aubl.	
Palicourea hoffmannseggiana	Accepted	Palicourea hoffmannseggiana	psycfu	Rubiaceae	(Willd. ex Roem. & Schult.) Borhidi	Psychotria furcata in Croat and the 1996 paper. Later Psychotria hoffmannseggiana before it was moved under Palicourea with many other Psychotria. 
Palicourea racemosa	Accepted	Palicourea racemosa	psycra	Rubiaceae	(Aubl.) Borhidi	Formerly Psychotria racemosa, and appearing under that old name in 1996 and 2004 papers.
Pavonia dasypetala	Accepted	Pavonia dasypetala	lopida	Malvaceae	Turcz.	Formerly Lopimia dasypetala, following Croat, but this is the widely accepted classification, placing Lopimia within Pavonia (Fryxell). Hammel et al VI (2007) uses P. dasypetala without even mentioning Lopimia as synonym. This appears under the old L. dasypetala in 1996 and 2004 papers.
Pentagonia macrophylla	Accepted	Pentagonia macrophylla	pentma	Rubiaceae	Benth.	
Perebea xanthochyma	Accepted	Perebea xanthochyma	perexa	Moraceae	H.Karst.	
Phoebe cinnamomifolia	Obsolete	Cinnamomum triplinerve	phoeci	Lauraceae		We used this in 1996 and 2004 papers for what Croat called P. mexicanum. We now consider Cinnamomum triplinerve the valid name.
Phoebe cinnamomifolium	Obsolete	Cinnamomum triplinerve	phoeci	Lauraceae	(Kunth) Nees	This is a misspelling that showed up briefly in our database. We spelled it correctly, P. cinnamomifolia, in 1996 and 2004 papers. We now use Cinnamomum triplinerve for this taxon.
Phoebe mexicana	Obsolete	Cinnamomum triplinerve	phoeci	Lauraceae	Meisn.	Croat used this name, but we changed to Phoebe cinnamomifolium for the 1996 and 2004 papers. That too is obsolete though, and we now use is Cinnamomum triplinerve. The combination C. cinnamomifolium has also been used, but never in our database.
Picramnia latifolia	Accepted	Picramnia latifolia	picrla	Picramniaceae	Tul.	
Piper aequale	Accepted	Piper aequale	pipeae	Piperaceae	Vahl	
Piper arboreum	Accepted	Piper arboreum	pipea1	Piperaceae	Aubl.	
Piper carrilloanum	Obsolete	Piper schiedeanum	pipeca	Piperaceae		This is Croat's name, but Tebbs synonomized with P. schiedeanum in 1990. Most of Croat's BCI specimens are named P. schiedeanum now. We used P. carrilloanum in the 1996 paper. According to Callejas, P. carrilloanum remains a valid species, and in Panama, but not on BCI.
Piper colonense	Accepted	Piper colonense	pipecu	Piperaceae	C.DC.	
Piper cordulatum	Accepted	Piper cordulatum	pipeco	Piperaceae	C. DC.	
Piper culebranum	Obsolete	Piper colonense	pipecu	Piperaceae		Croat's BCI specimens at Tropicos identified (R. Callejas) as P. culebranum in 2006. However, Tebbs identified them as P. colonense in 1990. Callejas (and Tropicos) consider P. colonense and P. culebranum both valid species, both in central Panama, but BCI specimens are P. culebranum. Our 2004 paper has both species!!
Piper imperiale	Accepted	Piper imperiale	pipeim	Piperaceae	(Miq.) C.DC.	Croat had this correct, and our 1996 paper had it correct. At one point, the misspelling P. imperialis got in our database.
Piper imperialis	Obsolete	Piper imperiale	pipeim	Piperaceae	(Miq.) C. DC.	Correctly spelled P. imperiale. This bad spelling got into our database at one point, but never in any publicatcion.
Piper longispicum	Accepted	Piper longispicum	pipelo	Piperaceae	C.DC.	First identified in 50-ha plot in 2015. Not in Croat nor in 1996 or 2004 papers.
Piper perlasense	Accepted	Piper perlasense	pipepe	Piperaceae	Yunck.	
Piper reticulatum	Accepted	Piper reticulatum	pipere	Piperaceae	L.	
Piper schiedeanum	Accepted	Piper schiedeanum	pipeca	Piperaceae	Steud.	Formerly P. carrilloanum in our data, and the 1996 paper, but we now follow Tebbs and use P. schiedeanum. However, a substantial confusion has arisen because Callejas identified many of Croat's BCI specimens as P. paulowniifolium. Flora Nicaragua by Callejas??
Pithecellobium macradenium	Obsolete	Abarema macradenia	pit1ma	Fabaceae-mimosoideae		Currently Abarema macradenia. We used the old name in 1996 paper. Barnebey and Grimes (1996) detailed phylogeny of Ingeae reduced Pithecelllobium enormously, and this taxon was transferred to Abarema, as A. macradenia.
Pithecellobium rufescens	Obsolete	Cojoba rufescens	pit1ru	Fabaceae-mimosoideae		This is Croat’s name, and we used in name in 1996 paper but had updated to Cojoba rufescens in 2004 paper. Barnebey and Grimes (1996) detailed phylogeny of Ingeae reduced Pithecelllobium enormously.
Platymiscium pinnatum	Accepted	Platymiscium pinnatum	pla1pi	Fabaceae-papilionoideae	(Jacq.) Dugand	
Platypodium elegans	Accepted	Platypodium elegans	pla2el	Fabaceae-papilionoideae	Vogel	
Pochota quinata	Accepted	Pochota quinata	pochqu	Bombacaceae		This has been our most convoluted series of name changes. This was first Bombacopsis quinata, then Pochota quinata (which appears in 1996 paper), then Pachira quinata (in the 2004 paper), but now back to Pochota quinata. However, Pachira sessilis remains. See notes under Pachira quinata.
Pochota sessilis	Obsolete	Pachira sessilis	pochse	Bombacaceae		Current known as Pachira sessilis. See notes under Pachira quinata.
Pombalia prunifolia	Accepted	Pombalia prunifolia	hybapr	Violaceae	(Humb. & Bonpl. ex Willd.) Paula-Souza	Originally Hybanthus prunifolius following Croat. Several new genera will be needed for Hybanthus (de Paula Souza and Balland 2014). See notes with H. prunifolius.
Posoqueria latifolia	Accepted	Posoqueria latifolia	posola	Rubiaceae	(Rudge) Schult.	
Poulsenia armata	Accepted	Poulsenia armata	poular	Moraceae	(Miq.) Standl.	
Pourouma bicolor	Accepted	Pourouma bicolor	pourbi	Urticaceae	Mart.	This was P. guianensis in Croat, but we followed Berg and changed to this by the late 1980s. P. bicolor appears in 1996 and 2004 papers. A Tropicos specimen now carries the name P. chocoana, but Berg used P. bicolor subsp. chocoana and this is still accepted everywhere (see Flora Mes, CR).
Pourouma guianensis	Obsolete	Pourouma bicolor	pourbi	Urticaceae		Croat's name for the BCI Pourouma, and we used it at the outset of the 50-ha plot. Berg identified BCI specimens as P. bicolor subsp. chocoana. P. guianensis remains a valid, S. American taxa. P. guianensis never appeared in publications.
Pouteria fossicola	Accepted	Pouteria fossicola	poutfo	Sapotaceae	Cronquist	
Pouteria reticulata	Accepted	Pouteria reticulata	poutre	Sapotaceae	(Engl.) Eyma	We originally followed Croat and called this P. unilocularis, a C. American taxon. Pennington lumped it and 4 other species, and the combined group is widespread and variable. We switched before any publicacions, so this appears as P. reticulata in both 1996 and 2004 papers.
Pouteria stipitata	Accepted	Pouteria stipitata	poutst	Sapotaceae	Cronquist	
Pouteria unilocularis	Obsolete	Pouteria reticulata	poutre	Sapotaceae		Croat used this C. American name, and we followed at the outset of the 50-ha plot. Pennington (1990) recognizes distinctions, but lumped 5 species, including this C. American form, under P. reticulata, and we made the switch by 1990. This appears as P. reticulata in both 1996 and 2004 papers.
Prioria copaifera	Accepted	Prioria copaifera	pri2co	Fabaceae-caesalpinioideae	Griseb.	
Protium confusum	Accepted	Protium confusum	protsp	Burseraceae	(Rose) Pittier	This Protium could not be identified from Croat and was censused as a morphospecies until 2000, called Protium skinny; in the 1996 paper it was called Protium sp. nov. It was finally matched to P. confusum, not a new species.
Protium costaricense	Accepted	Protium costaricense	protco	Burseraceae	(Rose) Engl.	
Protium panamense	Accepted	Protium panamense	protpa	Burseraceae	(Rose) I.M.Johnst.	
Protium skinny	Obsolete	Protium confusum	protsp	Burseraceae		A morphospecies name for a distinct but unidentified Protium with narrow leaflets. Finally identified as P. confusum.
Protium sp. nov.	Obsolete	Protium confusum	protsp	Burseraceae		The name appearing in our 1996 paper for the unidentified Protium, known in our early databases as Protium skinny, later identified as P. confusum.
Protium tenuifolium	Obsolete	Protium tenuifolium subsp. sessiliflorum	protte	Burseraceae	Engl.	A subspecies distinct from the BCI species, known only at two distant plots.  
Protium tenuifolium subsp. sessiliflorum	Accepted	Protium tenuifolium subsp. sessiliflorum	protte	Burseraceae	Engl.	A subspecies distinct from the BCI species, known only at two distant plots.  
Pseudobombax septenatum	Accepted	Pseudobombax septenatum	pse1se	Malvaceae	(Jacq.) Dugand	
Psidium anglohondurense	Obsolete	Chamguava schippii	cha2sc	Myrtaceae		Croat used this name, and we used this during the 1980s. We switched to Chamguava schippii by the 1996 and 2004 papers, following Landrum’s (1991) revision. See notes with the latter.
Psidium friedrichsthalianum	Accepted	Psidium friedrichsthalianum	psidfr	Myrtaceae	(O.Berg) Nied.	
Psychotria acuminata	Obsolete	Palicourea acuminata	psycac	Rubiaceae	Benth.	This is name that Croat used. C.M. Taylor et al (2015) moved several Psychotria to Palicourea. Taylor (pers. comm.) indicates many past collectors did not correctly understand character differences between genera. Many more Psychotria will be moved. See also Borhidi (2011) about the transfer.
Psychotria brachiata	Obsolete	Palicourea brachiata	psycb1	Rubiaceae	Sw.	This is Croat’s name, and we used in 1996 paper. Moved to Psychotria following Borhidi2011.
Psychotria chagrensis	Accepted	Psychotria chagrensis	psycch	Rubiaceae	Standl.	
Psychotria cyanococca	Obsolete	Palicourea cyanococca	psycpi	Rubiaceae	Seem. ex Dombrain	Currently P. cyanococca, a prior name. No change in species circumscription (Taylor pers. comm.).
Psychotria deflexa	Obsolete	Palicourea deflexa	psycde	Rubiaceae	DC.	This is Croat’s name, and we used in 1996 and 2004 papers. Moved to Psychotria following Borhidi2011.
Psychotria furcata	Obsolete	Palicourea hoffmannseggiana	psycfu	Rubiaceae		Croat's name and the name appearing in 1996 paper, but we switched to P. hoffmannseggiana, following Burger and Taylor (Flora Costaricensis). This lumps the C. American/Choco P. furcata into a widespread species. As of 2011, this and many other Psychotria were moved under Palicourea.
Psychotria graciliflora	Accepted	Psychotria graciliflora	psycg1	Rubiaceae	Benth.	Not in Croat but identified in 1982 census.
Psychotria granadensis	Obsolete	Psychotria tenuifolia	psycg2	Rubiaceae		Croat's name and our original name, and we used in the 1996 paper. We later switched to P. tenuifolia following Hamilton (1989) Psychotria of C. America (Taylor pers. comm.).
Psychotria grandis	Accepted	Psychotria grandis	psycg3	Rubiaceae	Sw.	
Psychotria hoffmannseggiana	Obsolete	Palicourea hoffmannseggiana	psycfu	Rubiaceae	(Willd. ex Schult.) Müll.Arg.	Formerly P. furcata, but Burger and Taylor lumped C. American group under this. To further confusion, this was switched under Palicourea by Taylor (pers. comm.) and Borhidi2011 in the big revision of New World Psychotria.
Psychotria horizontalis	Accepted	Psychotria horizontalis	psycho	Rubiaceae	Sw.	
Psychotria limonensis	Accepted	Psychotria limonensis	psycli	Rubiaceae	K.Krause	
Psychotria marginata	Accepted	Psychotria marginata	psycma	Rubiaceae	Sw.	
Psychotria pittieri	Obsolete	Palicourea cyanococca	psycpi	Rubiaceae	Standl.	Croat’s name, and we used in 1996 paper. Later switched to P. cyanococca, an earlier name for the same species found in Flora Nicaragua. 
Psychotria psychotriifolia	Accepted	Psychotria psychotriifolia	psycps	Rubiaceae	(Seem.) Standl.	Croat includes this, but it did not appear in the 50-ha plot until 1995 and is thus not in the 1996 paper.
Psychotria racemosa	Obsolete	Palicourea racemosa	psycra	Rubiaceae	Rich.	This is Croat’s name, and we used in 1996 paper. Moved to Psychotria following Borhidi2011.
Psychotria tenuifolia	Accepted	Psychotria tenuifolia	psycg2	Rubiaceae	Sw.	Formerly P. granadensis and published under that name in 1996 paper. Hamilton (1989) synonomized under this widespread S. American form, and Taylor (pers. comm.) agrees.
Pterocarpus belizense	Obsolete	Pterocarpus officinalis	pterbe	Fabaceae-papilionoideae		An old misspelling of P. belizensis briefly in our database, never appearing in print. See notes with P. belizensis.
Pterocarpus belizensis	Obsolete	Pterocarpus officinalis	pterbe	Fabaceae-papilionoideae	Standl.	The 1996 paper uses this name for the rare BCI species, ie P. officianalis. Tropicos shows this as synonym of P. officianalis. But Henshold lists it as synonym of P. rohrii=P. hayesii, though that appears to be a misunderstanding. Robin believes he found a single specimen of a distinct Pterocarpus on BCI, ie a third species, and tentatively considered it was P. belizensis.
Pterocarpus hayesii	Accepted	Pterocarpus hayesii	pterro	Fabaceae-papilionoideae	Hemsl.	Formerly P. rohrii, and that old name was used in 1996 and 2004 papers.
Pterocarpus officinalis	Accepted	Pterocarpus officinalis	pterof	Fabaceae-papilionoideae	Jacq.	A swamp species, rare on BCI, only 9 in plot and dying off. We listed it as P. belizensis in 1996 paper,  but that appears to be a miscommunication. This has always been P. officianalis since Croat's identification.
Pterocarpus rohrii	Obsolete	Pterocarpus hayesii	pterro	Fabaceae-papilionoideae	Vahl	Croat’s name, and we followed in 1996 and 2004 papers. Later, following N. Zamora, we consider this P. hayesii, contra Tropicos. According to Zamora, P. hayesii and P. rohrii are different species, both valid, but P. rohrii is only in South America.
Quararibea asterolepis	Accepted	Quararibea asterolepis	quaras	Malvaceae	Pittier	Whether BCI specimens belong in Q. asterolepis subsp. stenophylla, Q. stenophylla, or Q. asterolepis, is unresolved at Tropicos.
Quassia amara	Accepted	Quassia amara	quasam	Simaroubaceae	L.	
Randia armata	Accepted	Randia armata	randar	Rubiaceae	(Sw.) DC.	
Randia formosa	Obsolete	Rosenbergiodendron formosum	randfo	Rubiaceae		Croat's and our original name, and we used it in 1996 paper. This, with a small set of Randia species, were split off into a new genus, and from 2004 paper this became Rosenbergiodendron formosum
Rauvolfia littoralis	Accepted	Rauvolfia littoralis	rauvli	Apocynaceae	Rusby	Does not appear in Croat. Discovered on BCI in 50-ha plot in 1995 census.
Rheedia acuminata	Obsolete	Garcinia madruno	gar2ma	Clusiaceae		Croat’s name, now Garcinia madruno. See notes with R. edulis and Hammel (1989). We never published this name because we had changed before 1996.
Rheedia edulis	Obsolete	Garcinia recondita	gar2in	Clusiaceae		Croat’s name, but Garcinia intermedia in the 1996 paper, now Garcinia recondita. We never published Rheedia because we had changed before 1996. Need for moving Rheedia to Garcinia was noted as early as 1958 by Robson (on African flora). Rheedia had been New World, but traits separating it from Garcinia are inconsistent. Hammel (1989) assigned new combination G. intermedia, since G. edulis was not available. No change in species boundary. Hammel’s reidentification of BCI specimens as G. recondita still not published as of 2017 (Hammel pers. comm.) 
Rinorea sylvatica	Accepted	Rinorea sylvatica	rinosy	Violaceae	(Seem.) Kuntze	
Rosenbergiodendron formosum	Accepted	Rosenbergiodendron formosum	randfo	Rubiaceae	(Jacq.) Fagerl.	Formerly Randia formosa and appearing as such in 1996 paper, changed to Rosenbergiodendron formosum by 2004 paper. This and 3 other species were shown to be outside Randia (DNA and morphology). The species circumscription was nearly unchanged, though a Guyana segregate was split, so the new R. formosum has a slightly smaller range (Taylor pers. comm.).
Sapium aucuparium	Obsolete	Sapium glandulosum	sapiau	Euphorbiaceae		We used this name in 1996 paper for what Croat called S. caudatum. Then Krujit (1996) moved S. aucuparium under S. glandulosum, which we have adopted. Specimens at Tropicos identified by R. Liesner as S. glandulosum. See notes under S. caudatum for further confusion about Croat’s names.
Sapium broadleaf	Accepted	Sapium broadleaf	sapisp	Euphorbiaceae		
Sapium caudatum	Obsolete	Sapium glandulosum	sapiau	Euphorbiaceae	Pitt.	There has been much confusion about Sapium names. Croat used this name, but  Webster and Huft (1988) moved S. caudatum under S. aucuparium and discussed problems. We followed Croat and used S. caudatum when the 50-ha censuses started, but switched to S. aucuparium by the late 1980s. Croat also used S. aucuparium for a different taxon, but his description matches S. laurifolium. The latter, however, has never otherwise observed or collected at BCI, and that specimen should be S. glandulosum.
Sapium glandulosum	Accepted	Sapium glandulosum	sapiau	Euphorbiaceae	(L.) Morong	Krujit synonomized S. aucuparium with this. R. Liesner identifed BCI specimens as S. glandulosum. 
Sapium sp 1	Obsolete	Sapium broadleaf	sapisp	Euphorbiaceae		We used this name in the 2004 paper for the Sapium in the Sherman plot. They match Sapium broadleaf, the yet-to-be-described new species at BCI.
Sapium sp. nov.	Obsolete	Sapium broadleaf	sapisp	Euphorbiaceae		The name we used in 1996 paper for what we call Sapium broadleaf. We believe it is a new species, yet undescribed, and M. Huft (pers. comm.) confirms. The Foster BCI specimen from the 50-ha plot remains unnamed at Tropicos (Foster 2942).
Scheelea zonensis	Obsolete	Attalea rostrata	sch1zo	Arecaceae		Croat’s name, and this appears in 1996 paper. Henderson eliminated Scheelea and moved into Attalea. This became A. butyracea in the 2004 paper.
Schefflera morototoni	Accepted	Schefflera morototoni	sch2mo	Araliaceae	(Aubl.) Maguire, Steyerm. & Frodin	We originally used Didymopanax morototoni for this, following Croat. But Frodin (1975) moved the entire genus Didymopanax into Schefflera, as new species added blurred distinctions. A DNA phylogeny confirmed this (Fiaschi & Plunkett 2011). We had the correct S. morototoni in the 1996 and 2004 papers.
Schizolobium parahyba	Accepted	Schizolobium parahyba	schipa	Fabaceae-caesalpinioideae	(Vell.) S.F. Blake	This is the correct spelling of Croat's S. parahybum. We had the bad spelling in 1996 paper but corrected in database afterwards.
Schizolobium parahybum	Obsolete	Schizolobium parahyba	schipa	Fabaceae-caesalpinioideae		Croat used this misspelling of S. parahyba. We repeated the error in the 1996 paper. 
Senna dariensis	Accepted	Senna dariensis	sennda	Fabaceae-caesalpinioideae	(Britton & Rose) H.S. Irwin & Barneby	Formerly Cassia fruticosa, but we had corrected to Senna by the 1996 and 2004 papers. Irwin and Barneby 1982 split Cassia into 3 genera, including Senna. Reviewed in Marazzi, with DNA phylogeny confirming monophyly of Senna. Known as S. dariensis var. gatunensis in Tropicos.
Simarouba amara	Accepted	Simarouba amara	simaam	Simaroubaceae	Aubl.	
Siparuna cristata	Accepted	Siparuna cristata	sipacr	Siparunaceae	(Poepp. & Endl.) A. DC.	On BCI, this was formerly identified as S. guianensis, following Croat. Renner re-identified the Tropicos on BCI specimens as S. cristata in 1999. See notes with S. guianensis.
Siparuna guianensis	Obsolete	Siparuna cristata	sipagu	Siparunaceae	Aubl.	Croat used S. guianensis for the less common BCI species of Siparuna, but those in the BCI plot are now reidentified S. cristata. We used the old name in early 50-ha plot censuses and it appears as S. guianensis in the 1996 paper. Though no longer known on BCI, S. guianensis remains a valid species in Panama, with many Canal Area specimens at Tropicos still called S. guianensis. We currently retain the name in 3 other plots, though those specimens may yet be re-identified.
Siparuna pauciflora	Accepted	Siparuna pauciflora	sipapa	Siparunaceae	(Beurl.) A. DC.	
Sloanea terniflora	Accepted	Sloanea terniflora	sloate	Elaeocarpaceae	(Moc. & Sessé ex DC.) Standl.	
Socratea durissima	Obsolete	Socratea exorrhiza	socrex	Arecaceae		Croat used this name, a Central American taxon, and we followed in the 1982 census. But Croat acknowledged the possibility it is not distinct from the South American, S. exorrhiza, and we had switched by the late 1980s and used the S. exorrhiza in 1996 and 2004 papers.
Socratea exorrhiza	Accepted	Socratea exorrhiza	socrex	Arecaceae	(Mart.) H.Wendl.	We used this in 1996 and 2004 papers, changing from Croat, who called this S. durissima. See notes there. Henderson (1997) lumped S. durissima with the S. American S. exorrhiza.
Solanum arboreum	Accepted	Solanum arboreum	solaar	Solanaceae	Dunal	
Solanum argenteum	Obsolete	Solanum lepidotum	solast	Solanaceae	Dunal	This is Croat’s name, and we used it in 1982. It is, however, an Incorrect identification, now S. lepidotum. We mistakenly called it S. steyemarkii in 1996 paper, which is wrong taxon and misspelled (should be S. steyermarkii).
Solanum asperum	Accepted	Solanum asperum	solaas	Solanaceae	Rich.	
Solanum circinatum	Accepted	Solanum circinatum	cyphha	Solanaceae	Bohs	Bohs (1995) collapsed entire genus Cyphomandra into Solanum. DNA phylogeny shows both it and Lycopersicon nested within Solanum. No change in species circumscription.
Solanum hayesii	Accepted	Solanum hayesii	solaha	Solanaceae	Fernald	
Solanum lepidotum	Accepted	Solanum lepidotum	solast	Solanaceae	Dunal	Nee says Panama and Andes specimens should be this, while E. Brazil specimens are different. So Brazil specimens were first argenteum, changed to lepidotum by Soto, changed back to argenteum by Nee
Solanum steyemarkii	Obsolete	Solanum lepidotum	solast	Solanaceae		This is a misspelling of S. steyermarkii that appeared in our 1996 BCI paper. But the valid name is now S. lepidotum.
Solanum steyermarkii	Obsolete	Solanum lepidotum	solast	Solanaceae	Carvalho	Carvalho's describes this species as new and attributes all BCI specimens (including Robin's) to it. But there is much doubt: elevation range is otherwise given as > 500 m, and height range to 35 m. Knapp et al (2005) and Tropicos now reject it. Nee gives this as alt name for FMNH specimens of lepidotum.
Sorocea affinis	Accepted	Sorocea affinis	soroaf	Moraceae	Hemsl.	
Spachea membranacea	Accepted	Spachea membranacea	spacme	Malpighiaceae	Cuatrec.	
Spondias mombin	Accepted	Spondias mombin	sponmo	Anacardiaceae	L.	
Spondias radlkoferi	Accepted	Spondias radlkoferi	sponra	Anacardiaceae	Donn.Sm.	
Stemmadenia grandiflora	Obsolete	Tabernaemontana grandiflora	stemgr	Apocynaceae	(Jacq.) Miers	Croat's name, widely accepted across S. America, and we used it in 1996 and 2004 papers. Morales moved it, collapsing the entire genus under Tabernaemontana
Sterculia apetala	Accepted	Sterculia apetala	sterap	Malvaceae	(Jacq.) H.Karst.	
Stylogyne standleyi	Obsolete	Stylogyne turbacensis	stylst	Myrsinaceae		Croat used this name, a taxon described from BCI. We followed Croat, and this name appears in 1996 and 2004 papers. Ricketson and Pipoly (1997) synonomized under the wide-ranging S. turbacensis, saying that across the range, characters of several local taxa overlap with S. turbacensis.
Stylogyne turbacensis	Accepted	Stylogyne turbacensis	stylst	Myrsinaceae	(Kunth) Mez	Formerly S. standleyi, in both 1996 and 2004 paper. We since switched to S. turbacensis, following the monograph of Ricketson and Pipoly (1997).
Swartzia simplex var. continentalis	Accepted	Swartzia simplex var. continentalis	swars2	Fabaceae-papilionoideae	(Sw.) Spreng.	Formerly S. s. var. ochnaceae, and appearing as the latter in 1996 and 2004 papers. 
Swartzia simplex var. grandiflora	Accepted	Swartzia simplex var. grandiflora	swars1	Fabaceae-papilionoideae	(Sw.) Spreng.	Formerly S. s. var. ochnaceae, and appearing as the latter in 1996 and 2004 papers. 
Swartzia simplex var. ochnacea	Obsolete	Swartzia simplex var. continentalis	swars2	Fabaceae-papilionoideae	(Sw.) Spreng.	Formerly S. s. var. ochnaceae, and appearing as the latter in 1996 and 2004 papers. 
Symphonia globulifera	Accepted	Symphonia globulifera	sympgl	Clusiaceae	L.f.	
Tabebuia guayacan	Obsolete	Handroanthus guayacan	tab1gu	Bignoniaceae	(Seem.) Hemsl.	DNA phylogeny shows the genus Tabebuia to be polyphyletic. and the yellow-fllowered taxa were moved into Handroanthus. 
Tabebuia rosea	Accepted	Tabebuia rosea	tab1ro	Bignoniaceae	(Bertol.) DC.	
Tabernaemontana arborea	Accepted	Tabernaemontana arborea	tab2ar	Apocynaceae	Rose ex J.D.Sm.	
Tabernaemontana grandiflora	Accepted	Tabernaemontana grandiflora	stemgr	Apocynaceae	Jacq.	Formerly Stemmadenia grandiflora, appearing as such in 1996 and 2004 papers. We are following Morales and placing it in Tabernaemontana.
Tachigalia versicolor	Obsolete	Tachigali panamensis	tachve	Fabaceae-caesalpinioideae		This is Croat’s misspelling of T. versicolor. We had it corrected by the 1996 paper, but used it in our own database for sometime before that.
Tachigali panamensis	Accepted	Tachigali panamensis	tachve	Fabaceae-caesalpinioideae	van der Werff & N.Zamora	Formerly T. versicolor, following Croat, but van der Werff in 2010 erected this new name for Panama specimens. This appears as T. versicolor in 1996 and 2004 papers.
Tachigali versicolor	Obsolete	Tachigali panamensis	tachve	Fabaceae-caesalpinioideae	Standl. & L.O.Williams	Croat’s name, and we used through 2015, including 1996 and 2004 papers. We now follow van der Werff et al. (2010) and use the new name T. panamensis. T. versicolor is valid but only in CR. It lacks pinnate stipule.
Talisia croatii	Accepted	Talisia croatii	talipr	Sapindaceae	Acev.-Rodr.	Formerly T. princeps, but Acevedo-Rodriguez described in 2003, Fl. Neotrop.
Talisia nervosa	Accepted	Talisia nervosa	taline	Sapindaceae	Radlk.	
Talisia princeps	Obsolete	Talisia croatii	talipr	Sapindaceae	Oliv.	Croat's original name, and we used in 1996 paper. Currently T. croatii.
Terminalia amazonia	Accepted	Terminalia amazonia	termam	Combretaceae	(J.F.Gmel.) Exell	We followed Croat’s error and spelled this incorrectly as T. amazonica through the 1996 paper. It was corrected in 2004 paper.
Terminalia amazonica	Obsolete	Terminalia amazonia	termam	Combretaceae		Croat’s incorrect spelling of T. amazonia; it appears in our 1996 paper but was corrected by the 2004 paper.
Terminalia chiriquensis	Obsolete	Terminalia oblonga	termob	Combretaceae		This was Croat's name, but it was obsolete before the plot started. By 1981, Robin's specimens were identified as T. oblonga by Stace.
Terminalia oblonga	Accepted	Terminalia oblonga	termob	Combretaceae	(Ruiz & Pav.) Steud.	Our name since the plot began. Croat used T. chiriquensis, but that was synonomized before 1982. See Fl. Nic.
Ternstroemia tepezapote	Accepted	Ternstroemia tepezapote	ternte	Pentaphylacaceae	Schltdl. & Cham.	
Tetragastris panamensis	Accepted	Tetragastris panamensis	tet2pa	Burseraceae	(Engl.) Kuntze	
Tetrathylacium johansenii	Accepted	Tetrathylacium johansenii	tet4jo	Salicaceae	Standl.	
Theobroma cacao	Accepted	Theobroma cacao	theoca	Malvaceae	L.	
Thevetia ahouai	Accepted	Thevetia ahouai	thevah	Apocynaceae	(L.) A.DC.	
Tocoyena pittieri	Accepted	Tocoyena pittieri	tocopi	Rubiaceae	(Standl.) Standl.	
Tovomitopsis nicaraguensis	Obsolete	Chrysochlamys eclipes	chr1ec	Clusiaceae	Oerst., Planch. & Triana	Croat used this name, but it is a double error. First, Tovomitopsis has been  synonomized with Chrysoclamys more often than not for over 100 years; Hammel (1999) cleared this up in favor of Chrysoclamys. Second, C. nicaraguensis remains a valid species, but quite distinct, and not on BCI, where C. eclipes is correct. Hammel (1999) provides a clear explanation of all.
Trattinnickia aspera	Accepted	Trattinnickia aspera	tratas	Burseraceae	(Standl.) Swart	
Trema integerrima	Accepted	Trema integerrima	tremin	Cannabaceae	(Beurl.) Standl.	Croat mentioned this taxon, but did not consider it present on BCI. In 2010, we reassessed the genus and recognized several individuals in the 50-ha plot as belonging to T. integerrima, formerly identified as T. micrantha. See notes with Trema unidentified.
Trema micrantha	Accepted	Trema micrantha	tremmi	Cannabaceae	(L.) Blume	All Trema in the 50-ha plot were identified as this species until 2010. But several individuals that had been alive prior to 2010 (one back to 1990) were reidentified, forcing us to reassess the genus. See notes with Trema unidentified.
Trema unidentified	Accepted	Trema unidentified	tremsp	Cannabaceae		Because we reassessed the genus in 2010, any individuals of Trema that had died earlier could not be reidentified, and all are now called Trema unidentified.
Trichanthera gigantea	Accepted	Trichanthera gigantea	tri1gi	Acanthaceae	(Bonpl.) Nees	
Trichilia cipo	Obsolete	Trichilia tuberculata	tri2tu	Meliaceae	(A. Juss.) C. DC.	Croat's misidentification of T. tuberculata, but Pennington corrected by 1981, also in Pennington (2016). T. cipo is valid but only in S. America. We had changed to T. tuberculata before the plot census began, following Pennington (1981). Tropicos still has Panama specimens, including Croat’s from BCI, under the erroneous T. cipo.
Trichilia montana	Obsolete	Trichilia pallida	tri2pa	Meliaceae		Croat's name, but we had changed to T. pallida before the plot census began, following Pennington in Fl. Neotrop.
Trichilia pallida	Accepted	Trichilia pallida	tri2pa	Meliaceae	Sw.	Listed as T. montana in Croat, but we had changed to T. pallida before the plot began (Pennington 1981).
Trichilia tuberculata	Accepted	Trichilia tuberculata	tri2tu	Meliaceae	(Triana & Planch.) C. DC.	Listed as T. cipo in Croat, but we had corrected to T. tuberculata before the plot began (Pennington 1981).
Trichospermum galeottii	Accepted	Trichospermum galeottii	tri4ga	Malvaceae	(Turcz.) Kosterm.	Croat listed as T. mexicanum, but that name was obsolete by the early 1980s. BCI specimens renamed by Meijer in 1980 (see Fl. Nic.). 
Trichospermum mexicanum	Obsolete	Trichospermum galeottii	tri4ga	Malvaceae	(DC.) Baill.	Croat's name, but we had changed to T. galeottii by 1982, and both 1996 and 2004 papers list T. galeottii.
Triplaris cumingiana	Accepted	Triplaris cumingiana	tripcu	Polygonaceae	Fisch. & C.A.Mey.	
Trophis caucana	Accepted	Trophis caucana	olmeas	Moraceae	(Pittier) C.C. Berg	Originally Olmedia aspera, and that older name appeared in 1996 paper. Updated to Trophis caucana, following Berg (1988). See notes under Olmedia.
Trophis racemosa	Accepted	Trophis racemosa	tropra	Moraceae	(L.) Urb.	
Turpinia occidentalis	Accepted	Turpinia occidentalis	turpoc	Tapisciaceae	(Sw.) G.Don	
Unidentified species	Accepted	Unidentified species	uniden	Unknown		
Unonopsis pittieri	Accepted	Unonopsis pittieri	unonpi	Annonaceae	Saff.	
Urera baccifera	Accepted	Urera baccifera	urerba	Urticaceae	(L.) Gaudich. ex Wedd.	Not in Croat but identified in 1982 census.
Vachellia melanoceras	Accepted	Vachellia melanoceras	acacme	Fabaceae	(Beurl.) Seigler & Ebinger	Formerly Acacia melanoceras through 2015, following Croat’s originally name. A long-running and heated debate finally ended around 2010 with the American Acacia settling in two new genera, Vachellia and Senegalia.  
Vasconcellea cauliflora	Accepted	Vasconcellea cauliflora	carica	Caricaceae	(Jacq.) A.DC.	This species appears in Croat as Carica cauliflora, but the species was not found in the 50-ha plot until 2010. We identified it in other plots in the 1990s, though, using the old name, but it is now updated to V. califlora in our database. (Badillo 2000 in Ernstia).
Verbesina gigantea	Accepted	Verbesina gigantea	verbgi	Asteraceae	Jacq.	Croat included this taxon, but it was not identified in the 50-ha plot until the 2000 census and thus does not appear in 1996 paper.
Virola bozo	Obsolete	Virola multiflora	virosp	Myristicaceae		Our original name in 1982 for a Virola not matching any known BCI species. In the 1996 paper, it appears as Virola sp. nov., as if it was a novel species. But it was later identified as V. multiflora
Virola multiflora	Accepted	Virola multiflora	virosp	Myristicaceae	(Standl.) A.C.Sm.	Labeled as unidentified morphospecies V. bozo in original BCI census, and listed as Virola sp. nov. in 1996 paper. By the 2004 paper, it was identified and appears as V. mutliflora there.
Virola nobilis	Accepted	Virola nobilis	virosu	Myristicaceae	A.C. Sm.	Croat published V. surinamensis for the tallest BCI Virola, but lists V. nobilis as a synonym, and originally identified specimens as V. nobilis. Later, Gentry incorrectly reidentified as V. surinamensis. Rodriguez in 2007 identified BCI specimens as V. nobilis, but Tropicos has both names in Panama and Costa Rica. 
Virola sebifera	Accepted	Virola sebifera	virose	Myristicaceae	Aubl.	
Virola sp. nov.	Obsolete	Virola multiflora	virosp	Myristicaceae		This is the name used in the 1996 paper for the Virola morphospecies, given the less stodgy name of Virola bozo in our databases. Later identified as V. multiflora, not a new species at all.
Virola surinamensis	Obsolete	Virola nobilis	virosu	Myristicaceae	(Rol. ex Rottb.) Warb.	This was Croat’s name, following an early misidentification of Gentry’s; we published it in the 1996 and 2004 papers (Croat listed V. nobilis as a synonym). As of 2007, however, Rodriguez advised that BCI specimens are V. nobilis. V. surinamensis remains valid in S. America. See more comments under V. nobilis. 
Vismia baccifera	Accepted	Vismia baccifera	vismba	Clusiaceae	(L.) Triana & Planch.	
Vismia billbergiana	Accepted	Vismia billbergiana	vismbi	Clusiaceae	Beurl.	
Vismia macrophylla	Accepted	Vismia macrophylla	vismma	Clusiaceae	Kunth	
Vochysia ferruginea	Accepted	Vochysia ferruginea	vochfe	Vochysiaceae	Mart.	
Xylopia macrantha	Accepted	Xylopia macrantha	xyl1ma	Annonaceae	Triana & Planch.	
Xylosma chlorantha	Accepted	Xylosma chlorantha	xyl2ch	Salicaceae	Donn.Sm.	Croat misspelled this X. chloranthum and we repeated the error in the 1996 paper.
Xylosma chloranthum	Obsolete	Xylosma chlorantha	xyl2ch	Salicaceae		Croat's misspelling of X. chorantha. We used it in the 1997 paper. As for X. oligandra, silly Latin gender.
Xylosma oligandra	Accepted	Xylosma oligandra	xyl2ol	Salicaceae	Donn. Sm.	Croat misspelled this X. oligandrum and we repeated the error in the 1996 paper.
Xylosma oligandrum	Obsolete	Xylosma oligandra	xyl2ol	Salicaceae		Croat's misspelling of X. oligandrum. We used it in the 1997 paper. As for X. chlorantha, silly Latin gender.
Zanthoxylum acuminatum	Accepted	Zanthoxylum acuminatum	zantpr	Rutaceae	(Sw.) Sw.	Originally Z. procerum in Croat, and in our 1996 paper under that name. We then used Z. juniperinum for some time, and that's how it appeared in 2004 paper. Reynel identified all BCI specimens at Tropicos as this in 1993, with subsp. juniperinum.
Zanthoxylum belizense	Obsolete	Zanthoxylum ekmanii	zantbe	Rutaceae		Croat's name, and we used in 1996 paper. Reynel reidentified BCI specimens as Z. ekmanii in 1993. Reynel (1995) PhD dissertation not yet consulted. Also see Manual CR.
Zanthoxylum ekmanii	Accepted	Zanthoxylum ekmanii	zantbe	Rutaceae	(Urb.) Alain	Formerly Z. belizense, reidentified by Reynel in 1993 at Tropicos.
Zanthoxylum juniperinum	Obsolete	Zanthoxylum panamense	zantpr	Rutaceae	Poepp.	This name is used for Z. procerum/Z. acuminatum subsp. juniperinum by several treatments. See Manual CR. We used it in 2004 paper, but Z. procerum (following Croat) in the 1996 paper.
Zanthoxylum panamense	Accepted	Zanthoxylum panamense	zantp1	Rutaceae	P.Wilson	
Zanthoxylum procerum	Obsolete	Zanthoxylum acuminatum	zantpr	Rutaceae		Name used by Croat, and we used through 1996 paper. Reynel identified Croat's BCI specimen as Z. acuminatum subsp. juniperinum in 1995. Reynel (1995) PhD dissertation not seen yet.
Zanthoxylum setulosum	Accepted	Zanthoxylum setulosum	zantse	Rutaceae	P.Wilson	
Zuelania guidonia	Accepted	Zuelania guidonia	zuelgu	Salicaceae	(Sw.) Britton & Millsp.
