Abstract Spirotropis (Leguminosae, Papilionoideae) is a Neotropical genus of trees that has long remained circumscribed to just one species, S. longifolia . Evidence from previous molecular phylogenetic analyses nuclear and plastid loci morphological features supports expanding its circumscription encompass species the polyphyletic Clathrotropis s.l. are widely distributed in Amazonian forests. Here, we reassess evolutionary relationships based on new plastome‐wide phylogenomic analysis...
Abstract The early-branching clades of Fabaceae subfamily Papilionoideae are characterized by their remarkable lability in floral architecture. In contrast, more derived papilionoid lineages marked evolutionary conservatism towards strongly bilateral, papilionate flowers. Here, we show an unexpected example a unique architecture during the early diversification history papilionoids. We built most comprehensively sampled molecular phylogenetic tree with focus on early-diverging Dipterygeae...
Abstract Historical climatic and geological events are largely known to have impacted biome evolution across the Neotropics their associated rich biodiversity. However, a clear understanding of dispersal shifts between neotropical biomes over time is still lacking for many ecologically important plant clades. We investigated timing ancestral species movements within early branching papilionoid legume Dipterygeae lineage tree species, some which among most dominant Amazonian rainforests...
Resumo Este estudo apresenta o tratamento florístico dos táxons de Leguminosae registrados na vegetação canga da Serra Carajás, estado do Pará. Foram inventariados área 74 específicos/infraespecíficos, incluindo tanto as espécies nativas como adventícias já estabelecidas, pertencentes a 34 gêneros, sendo os mais representativos: Mimosa (11 espécies), Chamaecrista (7), Aeschynomene (5) e Senna (5). skinneri var. carajarum é considerado único táxon endêmico das formações rupestres ferríferas...
Abstract Dipteryx timber has been heavily exploited in South America since 2000s due to the increasing international demand for hardwood. Developing tools genetic identification of species and their geographical origin can help promote legal trading timber. A collection 800 individual trees, belonging 6 different species, was genotyped based on 171 molecular markers. After exclusion markers out Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium or with no polymorphism low amplification, 83 nuclear, 29 chloroplast,...
Abstract The papilionoid legume trees generally known as tonka , baru and cumaru comprise the taxonomically complex genus Dipteryx . In addition to being ecologically important across neotropical biomes of rain forests savannas, species are valuable sources timber well an array coumarin products. This currently comprises 14 accepted with a convoluted nomenclatural history. is morphologically recognized by flattened leaf rachis, asymmetrical leaflets, truly papilionate flowers, drupaceous...
Abstract Molecular phylogenetic studies focused on the early-branching papilionoid legumes have revealed many new clades and supported several generic realignments, yet monophyly of some constituent genera has remained unassessed. This is case for Amazonian genus Clathrotropis tribe Ormosieae. The genus, as traditionally circumscribed, comprises seven species trees, including most ecologically hyper dominant taxa across terra firme seasonally flooded forests. Here we employed a Bayesian...
Abstract The Brazilian Atlantic Forest domain has one of the highest levels plant species endemism, but intense historical fragmentation across coastal tropical rain forest reduced original vegetation to < 10% and an island-like, patchy landscape. Despite such unprecedented loss, biogeographically phylogenetically interesting discoveries in different angiosperm families have been newly reported for recent years. Here, we show that discovery legume family (Fabaceae) counter-intuitively...
Abstract— Monopteryx is a florally divergent genus of Dipterygeae, an early-branching papilionoid legume clade largely marked by winged papilionate floral architecture, expanded upper calyx lobes often assuming wing-shaped orientation, and petals differentiated into standard, wings, keel enclosing the basally connate stamens. In contrast to remaining Dipterygeae genera, has but marginally coherent with interlaced trichomes exposes free stamens are nearly entirely fused standard-like dorsal...
Abstract— Cabari Gregório & D.B.O.S.Cardoso (Leguminosae, Papilionoideae) is a recently described neotropical genus of trees, with species predominantly distributed in the Amazon basin. After robust evidence from recent phylogenetic analysis nuclear and plastid DNA sequence data, was segregated Clathrotropis (Benth.) Harms. large trees imparipinnately compound leaves opposite leaflets, inflorescences terminal or less often axillary, woody pods elastically dehiscent valves, seeds. In this...

Abstract Sucupira‐branca is a popular name for the papilionoid legume tree genus Pterodon (Leguminosae, Papilionoideae), which amply distributed across South American savannas and seasonally dry tropical forests. has been strongly supported as monophyletic in all molecular phylogenetic analyses stands out within Dipterygeae clade by pinnately compound leaves with terete rachis, symmetrical leaflets emarginate apex, indehiscent, one‐seeded cryptosamara fruit. Despite growing interest species,...
