Resumo

With approximately 75 species, about 50 of which occur in the Neotropics, Connarus is the largest genus of the pantropical family Connaraceae. It is morphologically separated from other genera of Connaraceae by its trifoliolate or imparipinnate leaves, perianth with glandular dots, a single carpel and dehiscent fruits. Here, we present an updated taxonomic treatment of Connarus in the Brazilian Amazon, based on herbarium material and field work. Morphological descriptions of 16 species, most of which are endemic to the Brazilian Amazon, are provided, along with new synonyms, identification keys, illustrations, taxonomic notes and information on geographic distributions and phenology.
