Caturra

A compact Bourbon mutation discovered in Brazil.

Lineage
A single-gene mutation subsequently selected by IAC from 1937.
Growing conditions
Short internodes and closely spaced branches suit dense planting; susceptible to leaf rust.
Traits
Widely cultivated in Central America and used as a benchmark in variety trials.
Sources

Catuai

A productive compact variety released by Brazil's IAC in 1972.

Lineage
Selected from a cross of Mundo Novo and Caturra.
Growing conditions
Its compact stature supports dense planting; susceptible to leaf rust.
Traits
Separate selections produce red or yellow fruit.
Sources

Java

A variety carried from Ethiopia to Java, later introduced to Cameroon and Central America.

Lineage
A selection from the Ethiopian landrace population called Abysinia.
Growing conditions
Relatively low fertilizer demand and tolerance to coffee berry disease.
Traits
Recognized for high cup potential at elevation in Central America.
Sources

Maracaturra

A large-bean lineage selected by producers in Nicaragua and Central America.

Lineage
Thought to originate from a natural Caturra–Maragogipe cross.
Traits
Traits remain unstabilized following selection begun by INTA in 1976.
Sources

Maragogipe

A Brazilian Typica mutation distinguished by unusually large seeds and leaves.

Lineage
Found near Maragogipe in 1870; a parent of Pacamara.
Growing conditions
Widely spaced internodes and very low productivity.
Traits
Susceptible to rust, with good cup performance in Central America.
Sources

Pacamara

A large-bean variety developed by El Salvador's ISIC with high cup potential.

Sources

Parainema

A Sarchimor selection released by Honduras's IHCAFE in 2004.
