Robbiati, F. O.; A. M. Anton, M. J. Nores & R. H. Fortunato. 2019. A new insight into the classification of Senna

Series Aphyllae (Leguminosae). Darwiniana, nueva serie 7(1): 57-64.

A new classification in Senna Series Aphyllae based on distribution, morphology and phylogenetic evidences is proposed to contribute to a better comprehension of the series. Here, Senna aphylla var. divaricata and S. aphylla var. pendula are transferred to S. pachyrrhiza. Furthermore, S. rigidicaulis is considered a synonym of S. crassiramea, and a lectotype is designated for Cassia aphylla var. divaricata and C. crassiramea. Then, Series Aphyllae is composed by six species and two varieties.

Keywords : Aphyllae; nomenclatural changes; taxonomy..
