''Licania'' is a genus of over 200 species of trees and shrubs in the family (biology), family Chrysobalanaceae. Species are found naturally occurring in Neotropical realm, Neotropical forests from southern Mexico to Brazil and the Lesser Antilles.

Many species are either Rare species, rare or restricted in distribution and therefore potentially threatened with future extinction. Several species are used as ornamental plants. ''Licania'' fruit are important food for many animals and can also be eaten by humans. Caterpillars of a possible new taxon of the ''Astraptes fulgerator'' cryptic species complex were found on ''Licania arborea, L. arborea'' but do not seem to eat them regularly.

Euterpe Edulis
''Euterpe edulis'', commonly known as juçara, jussara (an archaic alternative spelling), açaí-do-sul or palmiteiro, is a palm species in the genus '' Euterpe''. It is now predominantly used for hearts of palm. It is closely related to the açaí palm, the açaí palm has differences though ('' Euterpe oleracea''), a species cultivated for its fruit and superior hearts of palm. The larvae of '' Caligo brasiliensis'' are reported to feed on ''E. edulis''. Although it was formerly widely harvested in Brazil for hearts of palm, it is now uncommon in the wild and no longer harvested commercially due to past over harvesting.This endangering of the species could cause it to fall extinct.
