Field work and reforestation projects allowed to find differences in Libidibia punctata growth through individuals. Morphometry and comparative studies revealed there exist two forms of this species, the first one characterized by an early branch weeping architecture and the second as an erect form, which usually is less branched and can reach the forest canopy in less time. In order to stablish the differences several statistical methods and morphological comparisons are used. The names L. punctata forma suspensa and L. punctata forma punctata are suggested for a clear differentiation of the individuals.
