these two genera are now considered taxonomically quite distinct, Lamarck had included
Vouacapoua in his original concept of Andira, making the latter name illegitimate. Yet, as
part of the Rickett and Stafleu revision of the lists of Nomina Conservanda, Cowan (1959)
noted that Lamarck's

type of V. americana Aubl.), but because Vouacapoua is now recognized as a distinct cae

The current conservation is of "Andira Juss.," not "Andira Lam." Jussieu (1789) cited
no species in his account, and Cowan (1959) considered Andira Juss. to be typified by A.
racemosa Lam. ex J. St. Hil.; however, Jaume St. Hilaire (1804) was merely using
Lamarck's A. racemosa, so there is no case for treating his name as a later homonym
under Art. 48.1 of the ICBN. If "Andira Juss." were to be maintained as the conserved
name, the type requires correction to A. racemosa Lam., which is automatically typified
by V. americana. Therefore, themaintenance of Andira Juss. would defeat the purpose of
the conservation of the name Andira.
For these reasons, a formal proposal to change the authorship of Andira to Andira
Lam. nom. cons., and to provide it with a conserved type, A. inermis, was submitted and
accepted (Pennington 2002). The name Andira inermis (Wright) DC. has been widely ap
plied to the species that includes A. racemosa Lam., the type of the conserved Andira (i.e.,
excluding the Vouacapoua element). Thus, itwas appropriate to propose, under Art. 14.9
of the ICBN, that the type of A. inermis be the conserved type of Andira Lam. If the name
A. racemosa Lam. were conserved with a new type, itwould displace A. inermis, the name

MORPHOLOGY
Habit. Species of Andira grow in a wide variety of habitats and have varied life forms
(character 1 in cladistic analysis). Rain forest species, such as A. macrothyrsa, A. parvi
flora, A. cori?cea, and A. anthelmia, are trees that can reach 40 m. Several species (in

the sandy coastal restinga scrub and forest of eastern Brazil. Andira humilis is a geoxylic
suffrutex, defined by White (1976) as plant with massive, woody, underground axes but
only annual or short-lived shoots above ground. Its aerial shoots rarely exceed 50 cm. The
species appears to be well adapted to survive the regular fires in the seasonally dry cer
rado woodland of central Brazil by an ability to sprout from its underground rhizomes
after burning. This growth form is unique to this species of Andira, but several other

steep and easily eroded white sand slopes in restinga scrub.
Life form provides a useful field character for distinguishing A. ormosioides from A.
fraxinifolia. The latter species has a broad, spreading crown and short bole when in open
situations, whereas A. ormosioides has a long bole and small crown. Polhill (1969) indi
cated that growth form may also be useful in distinguishing A. inermis subsp. rooseveltii.
Field notes (from herbarium specimen labels) indicate it to have a narrow, conical crown,
which contrasts with the broad, spreading crown of A. inermis subsp. inermis.
Bark and slash. All species of Andira produce a little red ex?date when the bark is
cut, a characteristic also of some other woody papilionoids (e.g., Dussia Krug & Urb. ex
Taub., Geoffroea, Pterocarpus

Wood. The wood anatomy of eleven species of Andira (A. anthelmia, A. fraxinifolia,
A. legalis, A. humilis, A. nitida, A. carvalhoi, A. verm?fuga, A. inermis, A. surinamensis,
A. cori?cea, and A. cordata) was studied by Herridge (1992). All these species have very
similar wood anatomical features, and any interspecific differences noted are quantitative
and may be due to the nature of the sample (from a branch or the trunk), its age, or vari
ation in the growth rate of different species. These difficulties in interpretation mean that
these data are of little relevance to the species-level
taxonomy of Andira.
The wood is diffuse-porous and without growth rings. The storied vessels, which are
of up to four, are large (98-234 mm), widely
solitary or clustered in radial multiples
spaced, and often contain deposits. The intervessel pitting is vestured, small, and alternate.
The axial parenchyma is storied, aliform (winged to lozenge-shaped),
and in tangential
bands ranging from 3-20 cells wide. There are gelatinous prismatic crystals in chambered
axial parenchyma cells. The rays range from 1-3 to 1-6 cells wide and 12-19 cells high,
and are irregularly storied or non-storied. Multiseriate
rays aremostly heterocelluar (A. in
ermis is homocellular).

Andira galeottiana, A. legalis, and A. anthelmia are characterized by a mixture of these

POLLINATIONBIOLOGY
Frankie et al. (1976) recorded numerous species of bees visiting the flowers of A. in
ermis in Costa Rica in large numbers. Other observations of floral visitors are anecdotal.
I have made similar observations of a variety of bee species visiting A. fraxinifolia
and A.
carvalhoi (R. T. Pennington, unpubl.) in Bahia, Brazil. These are two species with pink
purple flowers, less than 18mm long. Although the larger (19-24 mm long) flowers of A.
and are not significantly larger in terms
visited by large xylocopid bees, which
suggests a different pollination biology. This also appears to be reflected in the phenology
of A. anthelmia, where a high percentage of individuals were observed to be synchro
nously flowering in one area (vicinity of Ilh?us, Bahia, Brazil, October 1994; R. T. Pen

sis. This suggests that the pollinators of the small-flowered species may simply be smaller
bees. The absence of wing petal sculpturing suggests a difference in pollinator of the small
flowered species, because wing petal sculpture is thought to provide a foothold for floral
visitors (Stirton 1981). Further evidence that these small flowers may attract different pol
linators comes from the general correlation of the characters flower size, flower color, and
presence of wing petal sculpturing.
Bee pollination of all species o? Andira might provide an explanation for the covari
ance in size of the floral parts throughout the genus. Yet, the
probable pollination of A. an
thelmia by different vectors (xylocopid bees), demonstrates
that care must be taken in
generalization. For example, all the small flowers may not be as similar as they appear; A.
Ducke (herb, label) noted that the small flowers of A. macrothyrsa smell fetid, which con
trasts with the sweet scent of the flowers of A. cujabensis noted by J. Ratter.

DISPERSAL SYNDROMES
Janzen et al. (1976) observed dispersal of the fruits of A. inermis by bats of the fam
in Costa Rica. It seems reasonable to assume thatmost Andira species
ily Phyllostomidae
also have bat-dispersed fruits, because their fruits are morphologically
similar to those of
A. inermis (Pennington & de Lima 1995; Fig. 5A). The fruits of these bat-dispersed
species do not exceed 6 cm in length, weigh 10-20 g when dry, are green or occasionally
yellow (A. humilis) when ripe, have a strong, sweet scent and a fibrous mesocarp. The bat
dispersal of Andira fruits is well known by local people in South America; "Andira"

language (Milliken et al. 1992).

which can carry a maximum of 100 g (Fleming 1986). It is probable that they are adapted
for dispersal by large rodents (van Roosmalen
1985; Pennington & de Lima 1995), such
as paca (Agouti paca), agouti (Dasyprocta spp.), and acouchy (Myoprocta spp.), which are
(Emmons 1990). Of these large

when ripe, with a hard, non-fibrous, pale green to green-white mesocarp. When dry, the
mesocarp becomes hard and finely granular. Dried fruit of the other large fruited species
also have these characters, which suggests that they may be dispersed by similar means.
No direct observations of rodent dispersal have been made, but if these large fruits are ro
dent dispersed, then this represents a considerable novelty in legumes. The only reported
are of Parkia mul
cases of rodent dispersal in the estimated 650 genera of Leguminosae
tijuga Benth. (Mimosoideae; Hopkins & Hopkins 1983) and Hymenaea courbaril L. (Cae
1986). Some species appear to be secondarily dispersed by
salpinioideae; Hallwachs
water. The Mexican endemic A. galeottiana has a large fruit of which the dry mesocarp is
soft and spongy with air cavities, apparently adapting this species to dispersal by water;
its fruits are regularly found on Mexican
coastal beaches (Rovirosa 1890; Gunn & Den
nis 1976). Andira anthelmia and A. surinamensis are small-fruited species that show river
ine distributions and may also be secondarily dispersed by water (Pennington & Gemein
holzer 2000). It also seems probable that small-fruited
species may be secondarily
dispersed by rodents, because their fruits fall to the ground (pers. obs.).
Pennington and de Lima (1995) noted thatmode of dispersal appeared to have an ef
fect on the distributions of Andira species, with the putatively bat-dispersed species gen
erally more widespread. The best example of a wide distribution of a bat-dispersed species

distances flown by Neotropical fruit bats from their sleeping roosts to feeding areas (up to
10 km; Williams & Williams

Standard analyses of the composition of the dried mesocarps of five Andira species
were made using the methods of AOAC (1990). These confirm that starch, sugars, pro
tein, and fat are important nutritional components of these fruits (Table 1). It was hoped
that the probable differences in dispersal of large and small Andira fruits might be re
flected in the composition of their mesocarps. For example, Pannell and Koziol (1987)
found wide differences in the nutritional composition of fruits of Aglaia (Meliaceae) dis

caution. Second, although A. carvalhoi has a particularly high starch content, which re
the sim
flects the large numbers of starch grains in the parenchyma cells of itsmesocarp,
ilar value for A. anthelmia indicates that high starch content is not a unique feature of large
fruit. Overall, there is little difference in composition between the two fruit types, and the
inclusion of more rodent-dispersed species and more accessions of individual species are
necessary to further investigate the small differences found.
A notable aspect of these data is the high sugar content of the mesocarp of A. suri
namensis. This sample was analyzed four weeks after collection in Guyana, whereas the
other accessions were a year old; however, the sugars should remain more or less stable
unless dried fruit suffer microbial contamination, of which there was no evidence. It ap
pears that these fruit are much sweeter than the others. It is possible that these sweet fruits
are attractive to different bat species from those that disperse other species of Andira. The
fruit of A. humilis has a completely different scent from the fruit of the five other bat-dis
persed species that I have collected, which may also be attractive to alternative bats.
Andira fruit generally contain a single seed, so the large, putatively rodent-dispersed
fruit contain a correspondingly
large seed. It is possible that large seeds allow seedlings
to tolerate shade for long periods in the rain forest understory (Leishman & Westoby
1994), which may explain why several rain forest species o? Andira (e.g., A. micrantha,
A. cori?cea, A. taurotesticulata) have large fruit. In restinga vegetation, the large seed of
A. carvalhoi may permit the immediate development of an extensive root system, which
helps the seedlings to survive in the easily eroded, rapidly drained, white sandy soils. Seed
of this species, grown at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, produced extensive roots, and
little above-ground growth, in contrast to themuch stronger shoot growth of the other four
bat-dispersed
species germinated.

Intraspecific cpDNA variation is often low due to slow mutation rates, small effective
population size, and the possibility of "selective sweeps" caused by the non-recombining

and is likely to be due to processes of mutation within this species (Pennington 1995). In

geographic sampling of several species (e.g., eight populations o? A. fraxinifolia, five pop

with the accessions of A. nitida grouping with A. carvalhoi RTP 233.
The only difference between this analysis and that presented by Pennington (1996)
lies in the extra resolution in the strict consensus tree in Clade III (Fig. 7). Andira ormo
sioides, A. anthelmia, and A. legalis form amonophyletic
group, supported by the synapo
morphy of larger flowers pollinated by xylocopid bees. Andira fraxinifolia, A. nitida, and
A. carvalhoi are a monophyletic
group diagnosed by the ability to root-sprout and form a
multistemmed
shrub.
The combined analysis that included a subset of cpDNA restriction site data for
species not included by Pennington (1995, 1996) resulted in ca. 2700 trees (the limit that
the computer could store; length = 87; CI = 0.65; RI = 0.87). The strict consensus is shown
in Fig. 8 and demonstrates that A. taurotesticulata, A. multistipula, and A. jaliscensis are
members of Clade I, which previously only comprised accessions of A. inermis (Pen
nington 1995, 1996). The affinities of A. multistipula and A. jaliscensis with A. inermis
were suggested by their close overall similarity in morphology. Andira taurotesticulata,
with its white-yellow
flowers and large ridged fruit, is more divergent morphologically.
Yet, it does have in common with A. inermis and A. multistipula an endocarp of parenchy
matous
tissue, shown in the equally-most parsimonious tree (Fig. 9, character 48, state 1)
to be the plesiomorphic
state for Andira. Similarly, Pennington (1994) and Pennington and
Gemeinholzer
(2000) predicted that all species with an endocarp of stone cells would be
members of Clade II. This is corroborated by the placement of A. cujabensis in this clade,
and it is likely that A. cori?cea, A. trifoliolata, A. tervequinata, A. micrantha, and A. prae

for the species in comparison with Fig. 8. In the analysis where A. taurotesticulata was in

The results of this combined analysis that includes five extra species is used as the

CRYPTICCLADES
Pennington (1995) reported that none of themonophyletic
groups, even the well-sup
ported clades, discovered in themolecular analysis o? Andira had been recognized by pre
vious workers. They lack major morphological
innovations and hence are "cryptic" clades
sensu Wojciechowski
et al. (1993). The combined analysis demonstrates that new micro
characters provide unambiguous support for some of these cryptic groups.

of Clade I have an endocarp of parenchyma, but this maps as a plesiomorphy for Andira
rather than a synapomorphy. At a higher taxonomic level, micromorphological
characters
have also proved congruent with other clades that are well supported by molecular data in
(Rudall 2000). In both cases, reciprocal illumination provided by new
monocotyledons
hypotheses of grouping from molecular data is important. For example, itwas only when
the cpDNA restriction site data suggested the Clade II grouping of Andira species that I
noticed
that endocarps of these species appeared somewhat paler and harder than in other
species, which prompted the anatomical study reported above.
Other clades, such as clade III, remain cryptic, supported by restriction site data but
not by morphological
characters. This raises the question of whether they should be rec
ognized in formal classifications (Wojciechowski et al. 1993; Pennington & Gemeinholzer
2000), such as an infrageneric classification o? Andira.

Most species grow in rain forests. Four species, A. cordata, A. cujabensis, A. humilis,
and A. verm?fuga grow in the savanna woodlands
("cerrados") of central Brazil. Andira
inermis subsp. rooseveltii occurs in a similar wooded savanna habitat in Africa. Andira
carvalhoi is entirely restricted to the sandy coastal restinga scrub and forests of eastern
Brazil. Andira fraxinifolia, A. legalis, A. anthelmia, A. ormosioides, and A. nitida grow
both in restinga and adjacent rain forests in eastern Brazil. Andira jaliscensis
is a species
of seasonally dry tropical forests, as is A. inermis subsp. glabricalyx. Andira inermis
subsp. inermis also occurs in seasonally dry tropical forest in Central America and on the
Caribbean coasts of Venezuela and Colombia, but elsewhere in the Neotropics,
and in
Africa, it grows in rain forests.

gin (cf. Lavin and Luckow 1993), but no firm conclusions can be drawn until relationships
are better resolved. The phylogenetic position of theMexican A. galeottiana suggests that
it is derived from South American progenitors, which is not a Boreotropical pattern.
The transatlantic distribution of A. inermis might be the result of ancient vicariant
events or of more recent long-distance dispersal. Lavin et al. (2000) described vicariant
relationships between Africa and North America in two legume groups
in the Tertiary in seasonally dry tropical vegetation. This vicariance ex
planation would predict higher levels of cpDNA restriction site divergence between
American and African accessions of A. inermis than are observed (Fig. 9). The ability of
A. inermis to disperse over water barriers makes more recent long-distance dispersal ap
pear to be amore likely explanation. The distribution of A. inermis in the Caribbean gives
indications of the ability of its fruits to be dispersed over water, presumably by floating.
Its presence in Jamaica indicates that the species has the capability of crossing short
stretches of ocean. Jamaica appears to have been completely submerged during a period
in the Oligoc?ne
1988, as cited in Lavin, 1993), and therefore its

current biota must have the ability to disperse over water. The distance of Jamaica from
the nearest island where A. inermis is present (Haiti; ca. 200 km) is, of course, an order of
shorter than that between South America and Africa.
magnitude
Nothing is known of the potential of Andira fruits for long-distance dispersal by float
ing in sea water. Four observations are pertinent: (i) the distributions of A. surinamensis
and A. anthelmia often appear to follow river courses, a pattern seen inmany taxa known
to be dispersed by water (data from herbarium labels; pers. obs.; H. C. Lima, pers.
comm.); (ii) the fruits of A. galeotiiana are often found washed up on beaches inMexico
(Gunn & Dennis
1976), and this species is characteristic of river and lake banks, and
flooded areas (Pennington & Sarukh?n 1968); (iii) Andira seeds, protected by their hard
endocarps, have remarkable viability; seeds of A. carvalhoi that were not excised from
their endocarps germinated at Kew Gardens 14 months after collection; (iv) Andira iner
mis grows on the strand line in Cameroon (M. Cheek, pers. comm.; see notes onM. Cheek
it often grows along rivers and can survive inmangrove swamps
3579); in the Neotropics
(in Colombia; notes on H. Murphy & G. Parra 723).
The low frequency of long distance dispersal events may be indicated by the absence
of A. inermis from Cuba (where only A. cubensis occurs) despite the proximity toHaiti (ca.
100 km at the closest point). Given the presence of A. inermis on the islands of the Lesser
and all the other major islands of the Greater Antilles, this absence from Cuba is
puzzling, although a similar pattern occurs in Coursetia caribaea (Jacq.) Lavin van carib
aea (Lavin 1988). No other species of Andira have ranges as wide as that of A. inermis. For
example, in the Caribbean, A. surinamensis (widespread in South America) is present only
on Trinidad and Tobago, which are extremely close to the South American mainland. It is
Antilles
enigmatic that long-distance dispersal of these species is less effective, because there are
no apparent differences in their dispersal biology in comparison with that of A. inermis.
The explanation may lie in the ecology of A. inermis, such as its ability to survive inman
grove swamps and on beach strand-lines, which appears unique in the genus.
Recent
Patterns
in South America
The lack of cpDNA divergence within the species of clades I, II, and III (Fig. 9) is con
sistent with the origin of most South American species in recent times, possibly as late as
the Pleistocene. Morphological
change has occurred, but the slowly evolving cpDNA has
accumulated few, or in the case of Clade III, no differences among species. Such patterns
are characteristic of recent radiation on oceanic islands (reviewed by Bateman, 1999).

been a recent burst of speciation in this area. Andira surinamensis and the other species of
Clade III are separated by the wide "dry diagonal" of cerrado and caatinga vegetation that
runs across central and northeastern Brazil. The close relationship of A. surinamensis and
the species of Clade III is suggestive of previous links between the mesic vegetation of
southeastern Brazil and Amazonia, which are more often evidenced by disjunctions of the
same species between these two areas (Mori et al. 1981; Prance 1985, 1987).
The species of Clade II are from the central Amazonian
region (A. parviflora, A. uni

trifoliolata, A. micrantha, A. praecox, and A. cori?cea), all of which are confined to these
areas, so the five species represented in themolecular and combined analyses probably are
a representative geographic sample.
The parapatric distributions of the Clade II species A. cujabensis and A. cordata, which
are found in the Brazilian cerrado vegetation, are especially interesting (see Fig. 11). The

discovered by TWINSPAN
(two-way indicator species analysis) of the floristic
composition of 98 areas of cerrado and Amazonian savanna vegetation (Fig. 11 ;Ratter et al.
1996). This is also the line of contact for the glabrous and hairy forms of A. humilis (Fig. 11;
see account under that species), and similar distributions are shown by hairy and glabrous
forms of Pterodon emarginatus Vogel (Leguminosae, Papilionoideae; Fig. 11; R. T. Pen

subsp. aurantica occurring in the southeast of the cerrado biome, and subsp.
epunctata (Tul.) Lima, Carvalho & Costa occurring in the north, though in this case, the
ranges only abut at their southern ends inMinas Gerais (de Lima et al., 1990). These con

cent separation in the late Quaternary of the now continuous cerrado vegetation by more
mesic vegetation, such as that suggested by the palaeopalynological
data of Ledru (1993).

Andira inermis, occurring in both the Neotropics and in Africa, is a widespread and
variable species.The key characters that differentiate the subspecies are the presence or
absence of indumentum on the calyx and the size of the flowers. The most widespread
subspecies, subsp. inermis, has a calyx with indumentum covering its entire outer surface,
whereas subspecies glabricalyx and rooseveltii have calices that are glabrous, except at
the base and on the margins of the lobes. Similar intraspecific variation in calyx indu
mentum is found in A. humilis and A. multistipula, but in these species the extremes are
linked by intermediates, and therefore subspecies are not recognized. Flower size inA. in
ermis varies continuously from 9-19 mm, and alone forms no basis for the distinction of
intraspecific taxa; however, theMexican
specimens with a glabrous calyx (subsp. glabri
calyx) have flowers from 10-11 mm long, whereas the African specimens with a glabrous
calyx (subsp. rooseveltii) have larger flowers (13-14 mm long). Flower length therefore
provides the diagnostic character to separate these two subspecies.
There is clear geographic partitioning of variation inAndira inermis, with subsp. roo
seveltii restricted to wooded savanna in Africa, and subsp. glabricalyx found in Nayarit
and Sinaloa at the edge of the neotropical distribution of A. inermis inMexico.

tham's (1860) doubts that A. sapindoides may only represent a well-marked variant of A.
inermis, and the name is therefore placed in synonymy.
The type of A. chiricana {Pittier 3372; Panama: Chiriqui) has hairy ovaries and
leaflets that are sparsely hairy abaxially, but it otherwise matches A. inermis subsp. iner
mis. Ovary and leaflet indumentum appear sporadically in populations
throughout the
range of subsp. inermis.
Polhill (1969) provided an excellent summary of the variation displayed by A. iner
mis in Africa. He recognized two subspecies, which are geographically
separate and have
a calyx bearing indumentum: subsp. inermis and subsp. grandiflora. If the African mate
rial is considered in isolation, then these morphological
differences appear to merit sub

specific recognition. Subspecies
Cameroon and Nigeria, and has flowers of 12-13 mm long; subspecies grandiflora, from
savannas inGambia, Senegal, Mali, Central African Republic, and Ivory Coast, has larger
(to 15 mm long). These two variants agree in all other respects with Neotropical
populations of subsp. inermis. Because the range of flower size in the Neotropics encom
passes the range of variation in Africa, subsp. grandiflora cannot be considered distinct,
and the name is therefore placed in synonymy.
flowers
Andira inermis subsp. inermis has hard, heavy timber, which is used in the Neotrop
ics for furniture and cabinetwork, and also for construction, railway sleepers, fence posts,
etc. Because the wood has virtually no resonance, it is particularly suitable for radio and
television cabinets (Weaver 1989). It is also used as an ornamental street tree inVenezuela
and Costa Rica. The bark may be used as a vermifuge but is poisonous

Andira inermis subsp. rooseveltii ismore or less parapatric with the African savanna
form of A. inermis subsp. inermis (Fig. 15) in the wide belt of wooded savanna running
across central Africa from Gambia to Sudan and Uganda. Their ranges abut between Ivory
Coast (the most eastern record of the savanna form of A. inermis subsp. inermis) and
Ghana (the most western record of A. inermis subsp. roosveltii). Hopkins (1983) demon
strated that variation of leaf characters in Parkia biglobosa is clinal in these woodlands,
and thus did not provide a basis for recognition of intraspecific taxa. From the paucity of
herbarium specimens A. inermis appears a rare species throughout these African savan
nas, and Boulvert (1977) reported it as very rare in the Central African Republic. It is pos
sible that further collections from the savanna zone between the ranges of subsp. inermis
and subsp. rooseveltii (in southern Mali and Burkina Faso) might reveal intermediates,
and thus there may be a clinal situation similar to that found in Parkia biglobosa.
Andira inermis subsp. rooseveltii is reported to be used for children's gera, or sever
ance illness, by washing

The flowers and fruit of A. multistipula are very similar to those of A. inermis; how
ever, it is clearly distinct because of its large, persistent stipules. Ducke (1944) claimed
that these stipules distinguish A. multistipula
from any other species of the entire Ama
zonian
flora.
All
the specimens from Peru have a calyx with appressed indumentum, in contrast to
the majority of the Brazilian material in which the calyx is glabrous, except at the base
and on the margins of the lobes. The calyx is sparsely hairy in two specimens from Brazil
(Prance et al. 7968, Acre; Cid Ferreira et al. 7250, Amazonas). The lack of other char

in Colombia,
occurring in all three cordilleras of the Andes
to Venezuela.
It is also found in the Caribbean coastal ranges in
Cordillera Occidental
Panama (in Dari?n and San Bias), but in Ecuador it is found at lower altitudes (to 200 m).
It is clearly distinct by virtue of its small flowers, large fruit, and leaflets that are sparsely
hairy abaxially. There is wide variation in leaflet size, shape, and indumentum, in flower
size, and the extent of the gynoecial indumentum, which reflect this species' wide eco
logical and geographical range. The variation appears continuous, and the fruit are uni
form. The Ecuadorian specimens are somewhat disjunct from the rest of the range, but are
similar; the only difference is an endocarp with more abundant stone

cells (Gemeinholzer
1995).
Flowering specimens of A. taurotesticulata might be confused with A. macrothyrsa.
The wing petals of A. taurotesticulata lack sculpturing, and the ovary is hairy on its upper
and lower surfaces with the sides of the ovary sparsely hairy, or only the upper and lower
surfaces of the ovary are hairy. In contrast, A. macrothyrsa has wing petal sculpturing, and
its ovary is uniformly densely hairy. In fruit, A. taurotesticulata might be confused with
A. cori?cea and A. micrantha,
the other rain forest species o? Andira with large fruit. The

This is corroborated by personal observations

gradation from tall

in synonymy.
Several interesting collections from the northwestern edge of the range are assigned
to A. verm?fuga. Zarucchi et al. 2810 from Rond?nia appears in all vegetative and fruit
characters to be A. verm?fuga, but the notes indicate that the twigs are hollow and house
ants. The information given is insufficient to determine whether this is only a casual as

Field observation in Bahia of growth form and fruit indicates that A. ormosioides
distinct from the three species to which it is most similar: A. fraxinifolia, A. legalis, and
A. anthelmia. The fruit of A. ormosioides are small (4.7-5.6 cm long, vs 5.6-12 cm long
in A. legalis) and have a pale greenish white mesocarp (in comparison to the green meso
and A. anthelmia). Andira ormosioides has a long bole and small
carp of A. fraxinifolia
and A. anthelmia have a short bole
crown, even in open situations, whereas A. fraxinifolia
and a broad, spreading crown.
Herbarium specimens of A. ormosioides can be difficult to separate from large-flow
ered specimens o? A. fraxinifolia
and particularly from specimens of A. legalis and A. an
thelmia that have lost their characteristic large stipules or were collected without stipules.
An example is A. P. Duarte 4263, which has the dense red-brown indumentum on the
leaflet undersurface, inflorescence axis, and calyx characteristic of both A. ormosioides
and A. legalis. In the absence of fruit or stipules, it is not possible to determine this spec
imen with certainty. This specimen was collected in Patos de Minas, western Minas
Gerais, ca. 600 km from the Atlantic coastal forests, where both A. ormosioides and A. le
galis grow. Forests in Patos de Minas are semideciduous, with a few patches of dry de

Andira fraxinifolia
is a widespread and variable species, which is most likely to be
confused with A. anthelmia, A. ormosioides, and A. legalis in the rain forests and restinga
forests of Atlantic coastal Brazil, and with A. verm?fuga, in the cerrado woodlands of Cen
tral Brazil. Andira ormosioides, A. legalis, and A. anthelmia have flowers 18-24 mm long,
are 13-17 mm long. Andira fraxinifolia

also lacks the
large, persistent stipules that characterize A. legalis and A. anthelmia. The gynoecium of
A. verm?fuga is either glabrous or at most sparsely hairy on the upper and lower surfaces

Vegetative characters, particularly leaf and leaflet size and the amount and color of
the indumentum, are variable inA. fraxinifolia. Careful study of over 300 specimens from
the entire range of the species demonstrates that the variation in these features is contin
uous and therefore not a basis for maintaining
the species or varieties described by N. F.
Mattos and others (see synonymy above). My own field observations revealed consider
able variation in leaf and leaflet size and indumentum in very limited geographical areas
(e.g., specimens R.T. Pennington 211, 213 from Mara?, Bahia).
Several specimens from Jacobina, Bahia, are here placed in A. fraxinifolia but may
represent a new species (Pennington 1996). These specimens have fruit and flowers with
the characters of A. fraxinifolia,
but show an unusual growth form; they are small trees
with flattened rather than rounded crowns and with widely spreading branches.
Bentham (1837) published four names on the same date and same page; here their
types are included in one species for the first time. The epithet fraxinifolia was chosen be
cause it has been most widely
used.

nitida.
Andira nitida ismost likely to be confused with A. humilis, A. marauensis, and A. car
valhoi. Andira humilis is distinguished by its unique geoxylic suffrutex growth form, but if
this is not noted on herbarium specimens, the two species may be distinguished by A. ni
tida's smaller flowers (10-13 mm as compared to 14-16 (-19) mm inA. humilis). Further
more, A. humilis is a cerrado species that is not sympatric with A. nitida, which is restricted
to the rain forests and restingas of coastal Brazil. Andira nitida does grow alongside A. car
valhoi in Bahian restingas, but the latter is clearly distinct because of itsmuch larger (5-10
cm long, 4.8-8 cm high, 4.5-9 cm wide), brown fruits. Additional differential characters
are provided by the larger flowers (14-15 mm) and leaf axis (8.5-25 cm) of A. carvalhoi.
Andira nitida is also sympatric with A. marauensis
in Bahian coastal rain forest. The dif
ferences between these two species are outlined under A. marauensis
(no. 18).
Field observations in Bahia revealed two sympatric variants. One is a rain forest tree
(also growing in damp areas in restinga) with generally glabrous, thick-chartaceous leaflets
and a smaller, smooth fruit, which dries wrinkled. The other is a shrub or small tree, which
can tolerate dry restinga habitats; it has coriaceous, abaxially sparsely hairy leaflets and a
larger fruit, which
is ridged from the lower to the upper suture and dries smooth. Imade

that differences between the putative taxa are not consistent, especially at the northern and
southern ends of the range. It is not possible to ascribe either putative taxon a unique
combination of character states, and they are therefore not formally recognized.

Andira carvalhoi is only likely to be confused with A. n?tida from which it differs by
itsmuch larger, brown fruits. It also has larger flowers and a longer leaf axis; the flowers
of A. n?tida are 10-13 mm long and the leaf axis rarely exceeds 15 cm.
Although A. carvalhoi is abundant in some sites (e.g., at Oliven?a, Bahia), itmust be
considered endangered because of its restricted range. Its habitat of sandy coastal restinga
is under great pressure for development
and is highly prone to soil erosion if cleared.

Andira tervequinata might be confused with A. trifoliolata (no. 28) and A. praecox
from A. trifoliolata were discussed in de
(no. 26); see notes under the latter. Differences
tail by Pennington et al. (1997) and are summarized here. Andira trifoliolata has trifolio
late leaves and leaflets that are glabrous, with a plane primary vein on the upper surface
and an acuminate
apex. Andira tervequinata has leaves with 3-5 leaflets, which have
on the undersurface, a channelled primary vein on the upper sur

&
Andira trifoliolata is the only species in the genus that has all leaves trifoliolate. It is
likely to be confused only with A. praecox, which rarely has a few trifoliolate leaves, and
A. tervequinata, which has 1-2 pairs of leaflets; neither of these species is uniformly tri
foliolate like A. trifoliolata. For other diagnostic characters, refer to the discussion of A.
praecox (no. 26) and A. tervequinata (no. 27).
The collection Gentry & Tillett 10889 may represent a new species. It is said to have
been taken from a shrub, whereas all other records of A. trifoliolata are from trees. More
over, the leaflets have sparse, appressed hairs on their lower surfaces, whereas all speci
mens
of A. trifoliolata are glabrous. Yet, the specimen has immature fruit and lacks flow
ers; more complete material is necessary to determine its true status.
The fruit and bark of A. trifoliolata may be used as a contraceptive (herbarium label:
Christenson et al. 1432, US).
