Pseudalbizzia buntingii (Barneby & J.W. Grimes) E.J.M. Koenen & Duno comb. nov.

Basionym.

Albizia buntingii Barneby & J.W. Grimes, Mem. New York Bot. Gard. 74(1): 223. 1996.

Type.

Venezuela. Zulia, alrededores de Casigua El Cubo, 100 m, al este del empalme de la via hacia Casigua con la carretera Machiques-La Fría, 25 Feb 1985, G.S. Bunting 13370 (holotype: NY! [NY00001782]) .

Notes.

Fruits of this species are unknown and the species is only known from the type locality (Fig. 5 ), but it is similar in leaf and inflorescence morphology to several South American species of Pseudalbizzia , as described in the protologue. Especially the efoliate pseudoracemes point to this species most likely being correctly accommodated in Pseudalbizzia . Collection of fruits and/or inclusion of the species in phylogenetic studies is needed to confirm its generic and sectional placements.
