Abarema is a neotropical genus in the family Fabaceae. It is native to Brazil, Cuba, 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

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.[2]

Species

Following the 1996 revision, there are currently about 45 species. In older works, the entire genus is usually included within Pithecellobium.[3]

Plants of the World Online currently accepts only four species, Abarema cochliacarpos, A. diamantina, A. levelii, and A. maestrensis. The other species have been placed in other genera, including Jupunba and Punjuba.[4]
