Distribution and Ecology:— Australia, southest Asia, North America, Central, and South America (Ohashi 1973, Schubert 1980, Pedley 1999, Lima et al. 2010). In Brazil D. uncinatum is recorded from the Distrito Federal and in the States of Amazonas, Bahia, Ceará, Espírito Santo, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, and São Paulo. The species occurs in habitats associated with forest. Conservation Assessment:— Least Concern (LC), not endangered (IUCN 2001). Phenology:— flowering and fruiting throughout the year. Etymology:— from the Latin uncinatus (= uncinate), in reference to the uncinate hairs on all parts of the plant. Common Name:— amores; carrapicho; carrapicho-de-carneiro; pega-pega. DESMODIUM (LEGUMINOSAE, PAPILIONOIDEAE) IN BRAZIL Phytotaxa 169 (1) © 2014 Magnolia Press • 95 96 • Phytotaxa 169 (1) © 2014 Magnolia Press LIMA ET AL. Taxonomic notes:— prostrate, ascending, or decumbent subshrub with cylindrical stems clothed in uncinate trichomes, flowers 8–10 mm long, and triangular articles are diagnostic characters of Desmodium uncinatum. By its elliptic leaflets and triangular articles this taxon can be confused with D. triarticulatum and D. subsericeum (see notes under those species). The greyish spots often seen in the centre of the leaflets of D. uncinatum are not a constant feature of the species, but when present, can help in species identification. Schubert (1980) suggested that Desmodium limense might be conspecific with D. uncinatum. Based on analysis of type specimens and species protologues, the two names are not considered to be conspecific in our study. Jacquin (1798) published Hedysarum uncinatum. Following Stafleu & Cowan (1979), the Jacquin herbarium consisted of plants cultivated by him in the Shonburg Gardens of Vienna based on material originating from botanical expeditions in the Antilles, and Central and South America (Arcy 1970, Stafleu & Cowan 1979). In order to establish the typification of the names published by Jacquin it was necessary to check if they corresponded to Jacquin senior or junior and to do this we had to carefully analyse their handwriting (Arcy 1970). Three sterile specimens referring to Hedysarum uncinatum were examined in the W herbarium. Among them, the specimen W0027220 consists of a stem and leaflets that present evidence of the scandent habit cited in the protologue. The specimen which carries the label “ Hedysarum uncinatum, hort. Shombr., herb. Jacq.” and the determination Hedysarum uncinatum, both annotated in the handwriting of Jacquin senior. is here chosen as the lectotype of D. uncinatum. As the lectotype specimen (W0027220)of Hedysarum uncinatum is sterile, an epitype is here designated to complement the information about flowers and fruit that help in the recognition of this taxon. Schindler (1924) published Meibomia hjalmarsonii based on a heterogeneous syntype collection, since the collections “Heyde & Lux 6109” and “Rothschuh 541” correspond to the protologue of Desmodium uncinatum, and “São Francisco de Guadalupe, broussailes, 1170m, Tonduz in herb. Pittier et Durand 1786 ” (BR![3 exsicatas], K!, P!) to D. intortum. To resolve this taxonomic issue the collection “Heyde & Lux 6109” (K!) is here chosen as the lectotype of Meibomia hjalmarsonii. Capdevila (1994) synonymised Desmodium hjalmarsonii under D. uncinatum based on the material “ Honduras, dep. Gracias, Heyde & Lux 6109” (US! NY). However, following the recommendations of the ICBN, the type citation can’t be considered the first typification because this information is contained in an unpublished thesis. Our study proposes D. hjalmarsonii as a new synonym of D. uncinatum.
