In this paper described the anatomical distribution of laticifers from the bark of Hura crepitansand Ficus maxima, typical floodplain trees in the Amazon forest. By observing samples which wereprocessed by usual plant anatomy techniques, it was possible to verify that there were laticiferspresenting radial distribution in the secondary stem phloem of F. maxima, and a diffuse distributionin the axial phloem in H. crepitans.Neste trabalho foi descrito a distribuição anatômica dos laticíferos da casca de Huracrepitans L. e Ficus maxima Mill., árvores típicas da várzea da Floresta amazônica. A partirde amostras processadas segundo técnicas usuais de Anatomia vegetal, verificaram-selaticíferos com distribuição radial no floema secundário do tronco de F. maxima, e com distribuiçãodifusa axial no floema secundário de H. crepitans.  Laticifers distribution in secondary phloemof the Amazon wood speciesIn this paper described the anatomical distribution of laticifers from the bark of Hura crepitansand Ficus maxima, typical floodplain trees in the Amazon forest.
