Abstract
(Leguminosae, Cassieae) comprises ca. 300 species mainly distributed throughout the Americas. Although the genus is speciose and taxonomically problematic, very few studies have addressed the systematics of in recent years, and many taxonomic and nomenclatural issues remain unresolved. sect. ser. is the most speciose of the American series of and is the most problematic series in the genus. Based on fieldwork and extensive analysis of herbarium collections, we document the occurrence of 29 species of ser. in Brazil. This total includes , which is newly described from Amazonia and distinguished by its short abaxial stamens. We provide a synopical treatment of the taxa of ser. occurring in Brazil, including identification keys, short morphological descriptions, taxonomic notes, and distributional and phenological data. This work contributes to the taxonomic knowledge of ser. in Brazil and serves as a baseline for our ongoing taxonomic revision.
