Macrolobium paulobocae (Leguminosae, Detarioideae), a new species from seasonally inundated black-water floodplain forests in the Brazilian Amazon

“…), with most species growing mainly on oligotrophic soils of white-sand vegetation, and seasonally inundated black-water floodplain forests known as igapó (Cowan, 1953 ; Kubitzki, 1989 ; Morim & Gurgel, 2020 ). In addition to its ecological importance, the genus has been the focus of phytochemical studies, which have identified triterpenes, steroids, flavonoids, and a rare chromone glycoside called macrolobin (Nascimento et al, 2020 ) in leaves and stems of M. latifolium Vogel, with therapeutic potential for the treatment of oxidative and infectious disorders (Santos-Ferraz et al, 2021 ).…”
