Spp: Guayacán of Manizales.
Family: Lythaceae
Lafoensia acuminata
Description:
A type of tree habit that reaches 12-15 m in height. Its leaves are simple, of type
lanceolate, with a entire margin, a tapered base, and a sharp apex. The phyllotaxis of the leaves is
it has a decurrent opposite and possesses a camptodromous venation. It has stipules and the indumentum is absent.
(D. Aguilera; C. Ríos. 2017).
Flower: Perfect and complete, with actinomorphic symmetry and the distribution of its inflorescence is a
Corimbo. Its main coloration is cream. It has 12 stamens, which insert the filament to the
the anther is dorsifixed and is distributed freely. It has a superior ovary and the
the shape of the stigma is spherical. (D. Aguilera; C. Ríos. 2017).
Fruit: Capsule of approximately 4 cm, which is inserted at the apical stem and contains seeds.

Seeds: Slightly elliptical, flattened, shiny brown color, arranged transversely in the
Thing. The seed is coated with a wax that slows down water absorption during the
germination.
Flowering: from December to January. Fruiting: from January to May. Harvesting of
in the months of little rain, December, February, and March. Leaf drop: in January, it loses.
its leaves partially. Leaf renewal: from March to April. (D. Aguilera; C. Ríos. 2017).
Geographic distribution: In the countries of Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador. (EIA University. 2014).
Colombia is located in the Central, Western, and Eastern mountain ranges and in the Sierra Nevada of
Santa Marta; in the department of Cundinamarca, is observed, cultivated, in the areas of the high plateau.
Cundiboyacense and on the western flank of the Eastern mountain range, among other places. It inhabits between
from 1,300 to 2,900 meters above sea level. Native species. (E. Trujillo, n.d.).
Ecological requirements: It is a fast-growing species and requires some shade.

Soils: Requires soil conditioning with good fertility, well-drained and moist.
prefers acidic soils, (EIA University. 2014). With a complete cleaning of the land, improvement of
the physical characteristics of it with the mixture of organic materials such as mulch, leaf litter or
crowd. (E. Trujillo, n.d.).
Reproduction: By seeds, a pregerminative treatment is applied to the seed by immersing it in
water for 24 hours. Germination begins on the 10th day and culminates on the 21st.

Uses:
Timber: Wood is hard, heavy, and durable, it is used in construction, carpentry, and for
making turned objects. It is honey-bearing. The leaves, flowers, and seeds release a ...

your cup.
Sorting in planting:
Do not expose to heat, sun, or humidity.
For seed storage, since it is of orthodox type, it must be preserved at a
temperature of 4°C and maintaining a moisture content between 6 and 8%.
Germination substrate: Small amounts, recommended Peat to avoid the
disinfection; in larger quantities, a substrate is prepared from one (1) part of soil for three
Do not use fertilizers or humus during germination.
Keep the substrate moist during germination, without excess or deficiency of water.
Protect the germination from environmental conditions such as heavy rains, excess sun or heat, the
use of moderate shade improves germination conditions. It is advisable after the
sow, cover the germination beds with a polypropylene tarp, install over the germinator
immediately after planting and is left until germination begins. The irrigation is
It can be applied over the canvas. (E. Trujillo, n.d).
ASSEMBLY
The mounting of the species will be done on germinating paper, so that this variable does not interfere with the
factors that will be studied in the research, after the germination time has passed, will
the assembly will be carried out where the most suitable substrate for the growth of the species will be chosen
according to the literature and a different substrate will be used (contaminated with some heavy metal or some
another type of impact) to determine variations in growth and development that are present

MEASUREMENT OF FACTORS
The factors to be evaluated in this research will be: stem height, stem diameter,
leaf area, biomass, and factors such as leaf arrangement, will be carried out for each

of the species will be done every two or three days, as according to, hoping that the substrate will
keep it moist, so that the species does not suffer from water stress and this factor does not influence the
results, since it is an important factor but it will not be evaluated.
