From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cymbopetalum mayanum is a species of flowering plant in family Annonaceae.[2][3] The specific epithet mayanum refers to the Mayan region in which it is indigenous, specifically the Petén lowland forests of Guatemala and the Atlantic moist forests of Honduras.[1] It grows as a tree, and may be threatened by habitat loss due to deforestation.[1] It is native to Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and southeastern Mexico.[2]
