Seeds of this species were collected from a wild population in Roraima State, Brazil. Seedlings of <i>C. pubiflora</i> have preformed shoots with determinate and rhythmic growth. Each growth unit has two reduced leaf scales that correspond to a pair of prophylls followed by two or three scale-like stipules and one distal eophyll. Besides, <i>C. pubiflora</i> has a monochasial sympodial branching with delayed branches. Current evidence indicates that most <i>Copaifera</i> species, including <i>C. pubiflora</i>, have phanerocotylar, epigeal, reserve seedlings with a cataphyll-free epicotyl and scale-like structures on the first internode after the epicotyledonary axis.
