Remarks
doi:10.11646/phytotaxa.306.1.5 the epithet comes from “umbu” that is possibly derived from “mbugn,” which is related to “growth” in the Kaingang language (Jê family language) according to D’Angelis & Fókâe (1994); Umbu is the name of a Paleoindian cultural tradition of hunters and gatherers from southern South America, known for their remarkable lithic technologies; this species was given the name umbu because it has a very similar geographical distribution to that of the people of the Umbu tradition (in the past) who occupied southern Brazil and expanded to the south (areas in Uruguay and Argentina) and north (areas in São Paulo State)
