Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

This work presents a synoptic treatment for the 10 species of Poecilanthe (P. amazonica, P. effusa, P. falcata, P. grandiflora, P. hostmannii, P. itapuana, P. ovalifolia, P. parviflora, P. subcordata and P. ulei), including an identification key, nomenclatural revision and their updated geographic distribution data. In addition, species delimitation is briefly discussed. Poecilanthe grandiflora and P. falcata have been revised and are considered to be distinct species; P. parviflora var. floribunda is considered to be a synonym of the typical variety; and four lectotypes are designated.

Key words:
Brongniartieae; Legumes; South America; taxonomy

RESUMO

Este trabalho apresenta um tratamento sintético para as 10 espécies do gênero Poecilanthe (P. amazonica, P. effusa, P. falcata, P. grandiflora, P. hostmannii, P. itapuana, P. ovalifolia, P. parviflora, P. subcordata e P. ulei), incluindo uma chave de identificação e a revisão da nomenclatura e distribuição geográfica. Além disso, a delimitação das espécies é brevemente discutida. Desta forma, P. grandiflora e P.falcata são consideradas espécies distintas; P. parviflora var. floribunda é considerada sinônimo da variedade típica; e quatro lectótipos são designados.
