Abarema is a neotropical genus in the family Fabaceae. It is native to Brazil and Venezuela.[1] Most of the species can be found in the Amazon Basin and the Guyana Highlands. They have a deep-green fernlike foliage, with bipinnately compound leaves.

Taxonomy

[edit]

In older works, the entire genus is usually included within Pithecellobium.[2] Following the 1996 revision, about 45 species were accepted. This genus has been proven to be polyphyletic under its previous circumscription. As a result of the genetic evidence, the genera Jupunba and Punjuba were separated from Abarema, and most of those species are now placed in Jupunba and Punjuba.[3]
