Notes

• By Sastre & Offroy (2016), Ouratea wrightii has been treated as a species different from O. lucens.
• By some authors, also Ouratea insulae, Ouratea podogyna and Ouratea pyramidalis are included. However, in the draft treatment for Flora Mesoamericana by C. Whitefoord all these taxa are accepted as separate species.
