(60 m). In Venezuela, plants are found near Guatopo, Caripe, and just south of El Dorado. In Surinam, plants identified as Rodriguezia lanceolata are said to be common in the savanna forest on the coastal lowlands. On Trinidad, plants are found in several locations. In Peru, plants grow near Iquitos in the Department of Loreto near the junction of the Amazon and Itaya Rivers. In Bolivia, plants grow near Pando at 600 ft. (190 m). In Brazil, plants are found in the hot, humid lowlands of the States of Amazonas, Pará, Amapá, and Mato Grosso.
