“The genetic structure of the Acrocomia species were partially congruent with the current taxonomic classification based on morphological characters, recovering the separation of the species A. aculeata, A. totai, A. crispa and A. intumescens as distinct taxonomic groups. However, the species A. media was attributed to the cluster of A. aculeata while A. hassleri and A. glauscescens were grouped together with A. totai.”

Wonderful news indeed, thanks for sharing this! So many of us get frustrated with the seeming zeal of "lumpers" in recent decades...and finally, some vindication. Welcome back, our hardy friend, Acrocomia totai!
