Distributed in: Belize, Brazil, Columbia, French Guiana, Guyana, Panama, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela (Central America, Latin America)

Distribution overview: Widely distributed in tropical America but is most abundant in the Guianas and the lower Amazon region of Brazil. Frequent in the overflow woodlands of the Amazon estuary but also in upland forests.

Common uses: Barge fenders, Boat building (general), Boat building: framing, Bridge construction, Building construction, Building materials, Cabin construction, Charcoal, Construction, Crossties, Docks, Dockwork, Factory construction, Flooring, Flooring: industrial heavy traffic, Fuelwood, Harbor work, Heavy construction, Joinery, Light construction, Marine construction, Mine timbers, Naval architecture, Piling, Raft floats, Rafts, Railroad ties, Wharf construction

Environment profile: Rather rare at the periphery of its range

Tree size: Trunk diameter is 100-150 cm

Colors: the heart isYellow, Yellow to golden-yellow to orangeand the sapwoodWhite, Yellow.The grain isStraight, the textureStright and closed and the lusterSlightly lustrous

Natural durability: Very durable, Very durable

Odor: No specific smell or taste

Silica Content: Severe Licania woods usually contain high levels of silica

LightInduced Color Change: Darker

Kiln Schedules: Drying (speed) is fast

Kiln Drying Rate: Naturally dries slowly

Drying Defects: Slight twist/warp, Splitting

Ease of Drying: Slowly

Tree Identification: Bole/stem form is not buttressed

Comments: General finishing qualities are rated as satisfactory Various species in the genus are reported to have very similar characteristics, and are often represented by a general description

Blunting Effect: Blunting effect on machining is severe Tungsten tipped cutters may be required to saw or process the wood because of high densities and high silica contents.

Boring: Fairly difficult to very difficult

Cutting Resistance: Easy to saw

Gluing: Fairly Easy to Very Easy

Nailing: Nails hold poorly

Planing: Very Good to Excellent

Resistance to Impregnation: Softwood can be easily treated

Resistance to Splitting: Poor
