Examined material:— BRAZIL. Paraíba: Maturéia, Pico do Jabre , 1.000 m elev., 03 May 2019, fl., Aureliana Gomes 2018 ( HACAM) .
Distribution and ecology:—It is restricted to the Northeast of Brazil (AL, BA, CE, MA, PB, PE, PI, RN, SE), associated with the phytogeographic domain of the Caatinga (Queiroz 2009; BFG 2018).
Phenology:— Registered with flowers in May.
Taxonomic discussion:— Senna rizzinii can be recognized, mainly, by the shrubby habit, inermous branches, lateral stipules, terminal raceme, zygomorphic flowers with yellow corolla and bacoid fruits. It resembles Senna macranthera morphologically, but can be distinguished by the ovate bracts in S. rizzinii vs. linear bracts in S. macranthera .
