Os gêneros Apuleia, Dimorphandra, Tachigali (Caesalpinioideae), Bauhinia, Schnella (Cercidoideae), Copaifera, Hymenaea e Peltogyne (Detarioideae) (Leguminosae) no Parque Estadual da Serra Dourada, Goiás, Brasil

Abstract

A taxonomic survey of the genera Apuleia, Bauhinia, Copaifera, Dimorphandra, Hymenaea, Peltogyne, Schnella and Tachigali in the Serra Dourada State Park (SDSP) was carried out in order to contribute to the knowledge of the Leguminosae present in the Central West region of Brazil, where studies on the family are scarce. Fifteen species were found. Bauhinia was the most numerous genus with six species, followed by Hymenaea and Tachigali with two species each. Apuleia, Copaifera, Dimorphandra, Schnella and Peltogyne were represented by only one species each. An identifcation key, illustration to the taxa, and comments on their geographical distribution are provided.
