Abstract
Two genera, Oenocarpus and Jessenia, are recognized in this group of Neotropical palms. In Colombia, four species and three subspecies are found: Oenocarpus bacaba, O. mapora subsp. mapora, O. mapora subsp. dryanderae, O. circumtextus and Jessenia bataua subsp. bataua. Additional fieldwork is necessary to understand the basic biology of the species in Colombia and the extent of variation amongst local populations.
