The patawa, sehe, hungurahua (Ecuador) or mingucha (''Oenocarpus bataua'' or ''Jessenia bataua'') is a palm tree native to the Amazonia, that produces edible fruits rich in high quality oil.〔Vallejo Rendón, Darío 2002. "Oenocarpus bataua, seje"; ''Colombia Amazónica'', separata especies promisorias 1. Corporación Colombiana para la Amazonia –Araracuara- COA.〕 == Distribution and habitat== It is native to the tropical rainforest and is abundant in the wet zones at elevations less than , from Panamá, Trinidad, and northern South America (Colombia, Venezuela, Guianas, Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru).〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕 Two varieties are recognized: #''Oenocarpus bataua'' var. ''bataua'' - Panama and South America #''Oenocarpus bataua'' var. ''oligocarpus'' (Griseb. & H.Wendl.) A.J.Hend. - Trinidad, Venezuela, Guianas It is usually found in sandy soils with a high organic matter content that are subsequent to flooding, possibly because there are few other species which compete with it. It can grow extremely well on unflooded soils as witnessed by high-density stands in the pastures of the Colombian Chocó, though it is rarely found on terra firma in the wild since competition from other species is such that it rarely gets the high light levels it needs to set fruit.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oenocarpus bataua」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
