The phylogenetic position of
Pseudosamanea
is not well resolved in the
Mimoseae
phylogeny (
Koenen et al. 2020a
;
Ringelberg et al. 2022
). The genus is placed in a large, putative hard polytomy in the ingoid clade (Fig.
241
), but its exact position is difficult to ascertain, and differs across phylogenetic analyses (
Koenen et al. 2020a
).
Pseudosamanea
is therefore not treated as part of any clade within
Mimoseae
and is here recognised as a single genus lineage.
Description.
Unarmed trees 6-30 m, with wide spreading crown; bark fissured and exfoliating in irregular rectangular layers.
Stipules
triangular to lanceolate, sericeous, caducous.
Leaves
bipinnate, extrafloral nectaries usually present near the petiole base, another between the terminal pair of pinnae and less frequently along the rachides; pinnae 3-13 pairs, paraphyllidia present, caducous; leaflets 5-30 pairs, obovate, elliptic or lanceolate.
Inflorescence units
heteromorphic umbelliform capitula, 2-6-fascicled in leaf axil, the terminal flower sessile and stouter.
Flowers
5 (6-7)-merous; calyx gamosepalous, ferruginous villose; corolla gamopetalous, campanulate, lobes triangular, canescent to yellowish villose; stamens numerous, the filaments basally united into a tube; pollen in 24-32-celled polyads; ovary ovoid.
Fruits
indehiscent or dehiscent through one margin, oblong, laterally compressed, valves papery, puberulent, margins slightly thicker.
Seeds
ovoid, laterally compressed, pleurogram present (Fig.
244
).

P. carbonaria
(Britton) E.J.M. Koenen and
P. guachapele
] (Rico Arce 1992).
Included species and geographic distribution.
Three species known to date:
P. carbonaria
,
P. cubana
(Britton & P. Wilson) Barneby & J.W. Grimes and
P. guachapele
.
Pseudosamanea
species occur from the south of Mexico to the north of Peru, with one species in Cuba (Fig.
245
;
Barneby and Grimes 1996
). The native range of
P. carbonaria
is not known with certainty, but it is presumed to be native from Colombia, Panama and Venezuela from 700-1800 m elevation and introduced in Indonesia (Koenen 2022), Central America, the Greater Antilles, Peru and Brazil (
Barneby and Grimes 1996
; under
Albizia carbonaria
Britton).
Pseudosamanea cubana
is endemic to the south coast of Cuba to 50 m elevation (
Barneby and Grimes 1996
).
Pseudosamanea guachapele
is present from the south of Mexico to the north of Peru between 0-1000 m and introduced in Brazil and Cameroon and probably elsewhere (
Barneby and Grimes 1996
).
Figure 245.
Distribution of
Pseudosamanea
based on quality-controlled digitised herbarium records. See Suppl. material 1 for the source of occurrence data.
Ecology.
Pseudosamanea carbonaria
grows in dry and humid forests (
Barneby and Grimes 1996
), usually near water courses, its seeds are usually dispersed with the fruit by barochory and hydrochory (pers. obs.).
Pseudosamanea cubana
grows in riverine forests and savannas with palms (
Barneby and Grimes 1996
).
Pseudosamanea guachapele
grows in dry forests (
Barneby and Grimes 1996
). Little is known about the interactions with ants, floral visitors and pollinators.
Etymology.
From the Greek
pseudo
(= false) and
Samanea
, due to the similarity to that genus (Lewis and Rico Arce 2005).
Human uses.
The three species can be used as timber.
Pseudosamanea carbonaria
is cultivated for shading coffee crops,
P. guachapele
is used as living fencing in Colombia, and both are used as ornamentals (
Barneby and Grimes 1996
).
Notes.
As defined by
Barneby and Grimes (1996)
,
Pseudosamanea
included two species of macrophyllidious trees (Fig.
244F
),
P. cubana
and
P. guachapele
. The phylogenomic analyses of
Ringelberg et al. (2022)
showed
Albizia carbonaria
to be sister to
Pseudosamanea
, rather than grouping with species of
Albizia section Arthrosamanea
(Britton & Rose) Barneby & J.W. Grimes (now the genus
Pseudalbizzia
Britton & Rose;
Peraza et al. 2022
), where it had previously been classified.
Albizia carbonaria
was combined in
Pseudosamanea
based on molecular and morphological evidence (
Koenen 2022a
). Although
P. carbonaria
is a microphyllidious tree (Fig.
244E
), it shares with the other two species of
Pseudosamanea
exfoliating bark (Fig.
244B, D
), heteromorphic umbelliform inflorescences (Fig.
244E, F
) in which the central flower is bigger and sessile, and oblong laterally compressed papery legumes (Fig.
244G, H
) (
Koenen 2022a
). Pollen also supports this recircumscription,
P. carbonaria
having pollen with 32-celled polyads as in
P. guachapele
(
Koenen 2022a
).
