Thank you for this interesting information. I would be delighted to have the full article, if you can send it to me by email (colombo403@yahoo.fr).
I had quite a bit of difficulty identifying this species which was declared to me as Takini by certain people of Palikur origin. As I had certain doubts, it was ultimately the Cayenne herbarium which confirmed Helicostylis pedunculata for me by examining my samples. On the other hand, they did not know the vernacular name. There are 6 indigenous nations here, and 6 different languages, which makes things complicated.
I therefore think that the probability is high that the botanical identification is correct but indeed, given this article, the Takini appellation needs to be verified more thoroughly.
