Type species.

Glicophyllum chamaecerasifolium (A. Juss.) R. F. Almeida.

Notes.

Glicophyllum comprises 28 currently accepted species (four threatened species; Suppl. material 1) of shrubs, subshrubs or lianas endemic to rainforests, savannas, and seasonally dry tropical forests from Mexico (North America) to Argentina (South America; POWO 2024). There is no updated identification key for all species of Glicophyllum , but for regional treatments, see Anderson (1981) for the Guyana Highland (under Tetrapterys ), Almeida et al. (2020) for Brazil, and Pool (in prep.) for Mesoamerica.
