– Stryphnodendron flammatum Kleinhoonte (1926: 417) .

—Type: SURINAME, Sectie N, 15 April 1906, Plassckaert 63a (lectotype U 0003440!, designated here, isolectotypes K!, MO! NY! U 0003441!)

The original description of Stryphnodendron flammatum is based on a fragment of a compound leaf and lists general characteristics of the Leguminosae . This vague description and the vegetative type specimens preclude the recognition of this taxon as any existing species of Stryphnodendron , or as any genus of Fabaceae , since the specimens lack the apical bud with the characteristic indumentum and prefoliation, and the extrafloral nectaries of the petioles, rachis or rachillae.

We found several duplicates of the type indicated by Kleinhoonte (1926), requiring the lectotypification performed here.
