current name

[Dipteryx]

Educated guess

Given the level of typographical error on this web page the

Palo de Mico
Pterocarpus septentrionalis Donn.Sm.
of Guatemala

is highly likely to be the same as the

Flor de Mico
Phyllocarpus septentrionalis Donn.Sm.
of Guatemala

Although the inclusion of authors in botanical names in publications for the
lay public is ususally overdone and risks being confusing it does help in
reverse engineering names

Best,
Paul van Rijckevorsel
