Notes.

Hiraea comprises 81 currently accepted species (43 threatened species; Suppl. material 1) of scandent shrubs or lianas endemic to rainforests from Mexico (North America) to Argentina (South America) but absent in the Antilles ( POWO 2024). There is no updated identification key for all species of Hiraea , but for regional treatments, see Anderson (1981) for the Guyana Highland, Almeida et al. (2020) for Brazil, and Pool (in prep.) for Mesoamerica.
