Abstract
Obolinga zanonii is endemic to the mountain chain of the Sierra de Bahoruco (Dominican Republic)-Massif de la Selle (Haiti) in southern Hispaniola. Its habitat is the humid broadleaf forest (“cloud forest”) at approximately 1500 m. Little is known about the dispersal of the seeds, but many fall and germinate below the parent tree. Germination in a nursery occurs in about 30 days.
