Remarks
doi:10.11646/phytotaxa.373.3.4 The specific epithet is from the Greek word anthropophagos ('human eater'). The epithet refers to the indigenous people of the extinct Caeté tribe, who were notably known for their anthropophagous practices and who inhabited the coast of Alagoas (Espindola 1871), including areas where the species was registered.
