Licania fasciculata is a species of plant in the family Chrysobalanaceae endemic to Panama.[2] It is threatened by habitat loss.[1]
Licania fasciculata grows to a height of 12 m, with leaves between 9 cm and 13.5 cm long and flowers 6–7 mm in length, its densely clustered inflorescences making it very distinct from other species in the genus Licania.[3]
It was first described in 1978 by the botanist Ghillean Prance.[4]
