NOTES. — Known only from the Guiana Shield. It is clear from the protologue of the basionym, Mimosa hymenaeodes Rich. , that it is authored by L. C. Richard alone: the text reads “23. Hymenaeodes , fol. uniparibus. Richard.” (Stafleu & Cowan, 1983: TL-2-7732). Richard’s original spelling of the epithet on the holotype label is “ hymaeneoides ”. He naturally corrected the mispelling (“ hymaene -” for “ hymenae -”) in the protologue. However, there is no way to know whether the deletion of the “ i ” (“- odes ” instead of “- oides ”) was intentional or a typographical error. Anyway, both terminations are correct and have the same meaning, so there is no reason to change the original spelling hymenaeodes .
