Copaifera L. is a woody legume genus with 42 species (LPWG, 2021), which are more commonly known as copaibas and produce valuable terpenoid oleoresins used in folk and modern medicine, cosmetic, and other chemistry-related activities (e.g., Plowden, 2003;Trindade et al., 2018). Predominantly Neotropical, Copaifera is most diverse in Brazil with 28 species (LPWG, 2021). The current circumscription of Copaifera also encompasses nine extra-Brazilian Neotropical species, four African species, and the Malaysian Borneo C. palustris (Symington) de Wit, the latter originally described in Pseudosindora Symington (LPWG, 2021;Mackinder, 2015).Copaifera belongs to Detarieae, which congregates the resin-producing taxa of Detarioideae (de la Estrella et al., 2018; LPWG, 2017). Within Detarieae, Copaifera (including Pseudosindora) has been placed in a clade together with Baikiaea Benth.,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
