ResumoEntada é um gênero pantropical de Leguminosae (Mimosoideae)
AbstractEntada is a pantropical legume genus (Leguminosae, Mimosoideae) with 28 species. This paper presents a taxonomic survey of Entada in Roraima state, north Brazil. Three Entada taxa have been recognized in Roraima, treated here as separate species: E. polyphylla, E. polystachya and E. simplicata. An identification key, descriptions, illustrations, as well as information on geographic distribution, habitats and dispersion, are also provided. Both the endemism of E. simplicata and the first record of E. polyphylla make Roraima the only state where all species of Entada recorded in Brazil occur.
