Abstract

The study presents the first occurrence of Dimorphandra davisii Sprague & Sandwith from Brazil, a species previously known only in Guyana and Venezuela. After examining the INPA and NY herbarium collections, it was verified that the species was collected in 1986 and occurs in the municipality of Presidente Figueiredo, in the state of Amazonas, but never registered for the Brazilian flora. The record of the species increases the floristic data of the Brazilian Amazon and contributes to the better knowledge of Dimorphandra in Brazil. Keywords: Caesalpinieae; Distribution of species; Amazon Rainforest; Taxonomy.
