Neotropical genus of Leguminosae (Fabaceae ), with ten species currently recognized. With the exception of "Leptolobium panamense" (Benth.) Sch. Rodr., which occurs in tropical forests from northwestern South America to Mexico, all species of "Leptolobium" are restricted to South America and most diverse in Brazil. Most "Leptolobium" species have been traditionaly included in "Acosmium " Schott (Fabaceae ), but both genera have been recently distinguished based on several vegetative and reproductive traits.References
