Summary: Seedling morphology studies have contributed to provide useful data in delimiting diff erent levels of taxonomic groups over the past several decades. Thus, the purpose of this note is to describe on the seedling morphology of Pouteria franciscana Baehni (known as "abiurana"), a native Sapotaceae species from the floodplain forests of the Amazonian estuary. For the seedling morphology study, ripe fruits were collected in Mazagão municipality, AP, Brazil. The diagnostic character combination of plano-convex cotyledons (green to purple), i ncluded radicle in cotyledons, absent endosperm, and PHR seedling type may help indicate the phylogenetic position of P . franciscana based on the recent phylogeny of Neotropical Chrysophylloideae.
