SPECIES
In Puerto Rico, ausubo is associated with tabonuco (Dacryodes excelsa), guaraguao (Guarea guidonia) granadillo (Buchenavia capitata), and motillo (Sloanea berteriana) in the Subtropical Wet Forest classification according to Holdridge (18). In the Luquillo Mountains of northeastern Puerto Rico, species assemblages produced by the use of statistical clustering techniques revealed that ausubo occurs on upper slopes along with granadillo (13). Elsewhere within its range, ausubo is a constituent of several different forest types (table 1), attaining its best development in Lowland Rain Forest, or Lower Montane Rain Forest (classification according to Beard) (1,2,4,5). Species associated are numerous and vary with locale (4). In Trinidad, for example, ausubo is found in the Dry Evergreen Formation and Littoral Woodland along with royal palm (Roystonea oleracea), sierra palm (Prestoea montana), and timite (Manicaria saccifera). It is also found in Evergreen Seasonal Forest in the Carapa-Eschweilera association and in the Peltogyne association. Finally, it is found scattered in the Lower Montane Rain Forest.
