(Figs 1–3).</p><p>Bauhinia angelae is morphologically similar to Bauhinia catingae by sharing armed branches, bilobed leaflets longer than wider or equal, spathaceous calyx, white petals, and oblongs fruits. It differs by presenting triangular stipules (vs. filiform stipules), leaflets 3–10 × 2 –7 cm (vs. leaflets 2–2.5 × 1.5–2 cm), flower buds 2.5–6.5 cm long with the apex capitate and twisted lobes (vs. flower buds 2–3 cm long with the apex acuminate lacking lobes), oblong petals with undulate margins (vs. elliptic petals with entire margins) and mature fruits longer than 10 cm long (vs. mature fruits up to 7 cm long).</p><p>Type:— BRAZIL.

Queiroz 5698 (holotype HUEFS [HUEFS 43141!]; isotypes CEPEC [CEPEC 113537!], K [K807644!]) .</p><p>Shrub or treelet 1.5– 3 m. Indumentum of short, erect and soft simple trichomes intermixed with yellowish, simple boatshaped glandular trichomes on the branches, stipules, petiole, lower surface of leaflet, inflorescences, pedicels, bracts, and bracteoles. Stipules 4–6 mm long, triangular, puberulous, caducous. Petiole 1–2.8 cm long, subterete, puberulous to glabrescent, pulvine 1–3 mm long; leaflet 3–10 × 2–7 cm, ovate to elliptical, base subcordate to truncate, bilobed, the lobes acute, fused through 1/3 to 1/2 of the leaflet length, margins undulate, coriaceous, acrodrodomous, with 7–11 main veins, plane on the upper surface, prominent in the lower surface, secondary veins perpendicular to the primary veins, reticulate in both surfaces, tertiary veins intricately reticulate, upper surface glabrous, lower surface puberulous, denser on the nerves; pulvinule 1–3 mm long. Inflorescence a terminal pseudoraceme, 7–18 cm long, peduncle 2–6 cm long, sparsely puberulous, the flowers arranged in pairs along the rachis; bracts and bracteoles 3–5 mm long, linear to triangular, persistent, puberulous to glabrous, pedicel 0.5–2 cm long. Flowers buds 2.5–6.5 × 0.3–0.7 cm, fusiform, 5-subcostate, constricted at the apex, lobes tortuous forming a capitate apex. Flowers in anthesis 5.5–9 cm long; hypanthium 0.5–1.5 cm long, cylindrical-tubular, internally glabrous, externally sericeous; calyx spathaceous, sericeous at the outer surface, glabrous at the inner surface; petals 5, held reflexed and erect in the flower at anthesis, forming a zygomorphic corolla, 5–7.5× 1–2.3 cm, free, white, ovate-lanceolate, brochidodromous, glabrous, claw 1–2 mm long; stamens 10, all fertile, heterodynamous, filaments 2.5–5 cm long, joined at the base, staminal sheath up to 3 mm long, internally and externally densely pubescent, anthers up to 1 mm long, linear, glabrous; gynoecium 4.5–7 cm long, stipe 1–1.5 cm long, ovary 1–2 cm long, style 2–4 cm long, glabrous, stigma bilobed. Legume 10–20 × 1–2 cm, laterally compressed, narrowly oblong, apex and base acute, stipitate by 1.5–2 cm long, elastically dehiscent, valves brown, woody, glabrescent to glabrous, the minor veins raised and reticulated. Seeds 8–20, 8–10 × 5–7 mm, ovate to elliptical, compressed; testa brown, smooth with fracture line conspicuous and encircling half of the seed circumference; hilum subterminal, concealed by the funicular remnant.</p><p>Distribution and habitat: — Bauhinia angelae is an endemic species of Brazil, found in the Caatinga regions of Bahia and Minas Gerais, where it grows along roadsides and in secondary vegetation.</p><p>Conservation status —The AOO showed an area of 116,259.64 km 2 and the EOO of 108,000 km 2. Bauhinia angelae meets the requirements of Least Concern (LC).</p><p>Etymology: —The specific epithet honors Dr. Angela Maria Studart da Fonseca Vaz, former researcher at the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden, for her contribution to the knowledge of the Brazilian legumes, especially for her research on Bauhinia and related genera in Brazil.</p><p>Comments — Bauhinia angelae is a species commonly recorded and treated as a synonymous of B. catingae Harms, under the provisional name Bauhinia cacovia ined., proposed by R. Wunderlin in the 1980s. Within this classification, two subspecies were also proposed: B. cacovia subsp. cacovia and B. cacovia subsp. blanchetiana . Although these names were assigned to some herbarium specimens, they were never validly published.</p><p>Considering references where the name Bauhinia cacovia has been cited along with specimens studied by Wunderlin (Lewis 1987, Queiroz 2009), it is evident that the morphological characteristics described here for Bauhinia angelae correspond to the specimens that Wunderlin referred to as B. cacovia subsp. blanchetiana [S. Mori et al. 9510 (K, NY, RB, US), S. Mori et al. 14434 (CEPEC, K, NY), Rose &amp; Russell 19918 (NY, US), D. Andrade-Lima 58—2913 (K), Blanchet 3673 (F, BR)].</p><p>Regarding B. cacovia subsp. cacovia, some specimens were also referred to by Wunderlin and cited by Lewis (1987) as plants exclusively distributed in the Atlantic Rainforest of south Bahia state [T. S. dos Santos 1430 (CEPEC, IPA), R. S. Pinheiro 1350 (CEPEC, US)]. However, the characteristics observed in these specimens such as leaflets with acuminate lobe apices, floral buds lacking lobes and constriction at the apex, and their biome of distribution, suggest that this subspecies is more closely related to Bauhinia forficata Link. However, the plant populations of B. forficata are variable, and some subspecies have been proposed (see key). Therefore, a more comprehensive and detailed analysis is required to properly circumscribe species related to B. forficata .</p><p>Among the species distributed through the Brazilian Caatinga, B. angelae is more closely related to B. catingae by sharing armed branches, bilobated leaflets longer than wider or equal, spathaceous calyx, white petals, and oblongs fruits. However, B. angelae is distinguishable by its triangular stipules (vs. filiform stipules), leaflets 3–10 × 2–7 cm (vs. leaflets 2–2.5 × 1.5–2 cm), flower buds 2.5–6.5 cm long with the apex capitate and twisted lobes (vs. flower buds 2–3 cm long with the apex acuminate lacking lobes), oblong petals with undulate margins (vs. elliptic petals with entire margins) and mature fruits longer than 10 cm long (vs. mature fruits up to 7 cm long).</p><p>Additional specimens examined (paratypes):— BRAZIL.
