Abarema is a neotropical genus in the family Fabaceae. It is native to Brazil and Venezuela.[1] Most of the species can be found in the Amazon Basin and the Guyana Highlands. They have a deep-green fernlike foliage, with bipinnately compound leaves.
Taxonomy
[edit]This genus has been proven to be polyphyletic under its previous circumscription. As a result of the genetic evidence, the genera Jupunba and Punjuba were separated from Abarema.[2]
Species
[edit]Plants of the World Online currently accepts three species.[1]
- Abarema cochliacarpos (Gomes) Barneby & J.W.Grimes – eastern Brazil
- Abarema diamantina E.Guerra, Iganci & M.P.Morim – northeastern Brazil (central Bahia)
- Abarema levelii (R.S.Cowan) Barneby & J.W.Grimes – southern Venezuela and northern Brazil
Following the 1996 revision, about 45 species were accepted. Most of these species are now placed in Jupunba and Punjuba.[2] In older works, the entire genus is usually included within Pithecellobium.[3]
