Schoepfia multiflora
Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
Schoepfia multiflora is a species of flowering plant in the Schoepfiaceae family.[1] It is a smallish tree, growing six to eight metres tall, exceptionally to ten metres.[2] It is endemic to Jamaica,[3] where it grows on rocky limestone in the woodlands of the central region.[2]
Schoepfia multiflora was first described as a new species by Ignatz Urban in the 1907 volume of the Symbolae Antillanae.[4]
In the 1984 key by Hermann Otto Sleumer, Schoepfia multiflora, S. harrisii and S. vacciniifolia are the only American Schoepfia species which have some or all flowers possessing tiny pedicels - all other species have sessile flowers which sit directly on top of the short peduncles. S. harrisii is also a Jamaican endemic, whereas S. vacciniifolia is a species from Central America.[2]
