Diagnosis.
Campsiandreae is characterised by a combination of flowers with a cupular hypanthium, imbricate petals and stamens long-exserted from the corolla. The genus Dinizia is similar in appearance to genera of tribes Dimorphandreae and Mimoseae by its bipinnate leaves and small flowers in dense spicate racemes but differs by the combination of alternate leaflets, imbricate petal aestivation and all stamens fertile (in Mimoseae petals are valvate and genera of Dimorphandreae with bipinnate leaves and spicate inflorescences have opposite leaflets and an androecium comprising 5 fertile stamens and 5 staminodes). The genus Campsiandra is similar in appearance to Arapatiella Rizzini & A. Mattos (tribe Sclerolobieae ) in having paripinnate leaves and regular perigynous flowers with a turbinate hypanthium and exserted stamens but differs by the variable number of stamens (vs. stamens 10 in Arapatiella ), fruits indehiscent or inertly dehiscent, the valves not strongly twisting after dehiscence (vs. fruits elastically dehiscent from the apex, the valves rolling inwards in Arapatiella ).
Type.
Campsiandra Benth.
Included genera
(2). Campsiandra Benth. (3 to ca. 20 species), Dinizia Ducke (2).
Description.
Medium to large trees. Stipules caducous or lacking. Leaves pinnate with opposite, often gland-dotted leaflets, or bipinnate with alternate, eglandular leaflets; extrafloral nectaries absent. Inflorescence a compound spiciform raceme, or showy multi-flowered panicle. Flowers hermaphrodite or functionally staminate, pedicellate (the pedicels up to 3 cm long in Campsiandra ); calyx with 5 imbricate lobes or a tube with 5 broadly triangular lobes; petals 5, imbricate, whitish (sometimes with rose-reddish markings), cream coloured or yellow; stamens 10-17 (25) per flower, exserted from the corolla, anthers eglandular; pollen in monads or tetrads; ovary stipitate. Fruit laterally compressed, coriaceous or woody, inertly dehiscent or indehiscent. Seeds discoid with a marginal spongy wing, or elliptic to obovate, hard, and wingless.
Distribution.
South America, mainly in the Amazon and Orinoco basins in flooded forests and swamp forests ( Campsiandra ) or in non-flooded Amazonian forests ( Dinizia excelsa Ducke), or semi-deciduous Atlantic rainforest ( Dinizia jueirana-facao G.P. Lewis & G.S. Siqueira).
Clade-based definition.
The most inclusive crown clade containing Campsiandra laurifolia Benth. and Dinizia excelsa Ducke, but not Delonix decaryi (R. Vig.) Capuron, Dimorphandra conjugata (Splitg.) Sandwith or Mimosa sensitiva L. (Fig. 94 View Figure 94 ).
Notes.
Phylogenetic analyses of a few molecular markers had suggested that the genus Dinizia could be more closely related to the Dimorphandra group of the old sense subfamily Caesalpinioideae , but with low support ( Luckow et al. 2000, 2003; Wojciechowski et al. 2004; Bruneau et al. 2008; LPWG 2017). The position of Dinizia as sister to the Amazonian genus Campsiandra is more clearly supported in the phylogenomic analyses of Zhang et al. (2020) and Ringelberg et al. (2022), however both genera are subtended by a long branch. Campsiandra comosa Benth. and Dinizia jueirana-facao are confirmed to nodulate with a fixation thread type of nodule anatomy ( Faria et al. 2022). However, Dinizia excelsa is reported to be non-nodulating ( Sprent 2001; Lewis et al. 2017), making Dinizia one of the few Caesalpinioideae genera presently known to contain both nodulating and non-nodulating species.
