Abstract

Ingeae is an important tribe of Leguminosae with 950 species in 36 genera, 24 endemic to the New World. This manuscript is the florist treatment of 16 species of Ingeae, organized in seven genera: Abarema (six spp.), Albizia (two spp.), Calliandra (two spp.), Chloroleucon (two spp.), Enterolobium (two spp.), Leucochloron (one sp.) e Zygia (one sp.) in the state of Espírito Santo. The genus Inga will be discussed in a forthcoming manuscript, due to its number of species.

Fourteen species occurs in the Dense Rain Forest, eight species are found in the Restinga, and seven species in the Seasonal Semidecidual Forest.
