0E5987DC9A1FFF9FFF55396350CB63BA.taxon	description	In the context of Entada taxonomy, the difference in the number of pinnae and leaflets is often employed as one of the most important features in recognizing species in Africa, Asia and South America (e. g. Brenan 1959, 1966, 1970, Barneby 2001, Tateishi et al. 2008, Forero & Romero 2009, Ohashi et al. 2010). In these papers, especially Brenan (1959, 1966, 1970), taxa which have discrete morphological differences in the number of pinnae and leaflets, in conjunction with other foliage (e. g. pubescence), inflorescence, floral, fruit and seed characters, were afforded specific rank. During the course of a taxonomic study of Entada in Roraima State, Brazil, we made collections and observations of Entada in the field. In this Amazonian Brazilian State, only E. simplicata and E. polystachya have been recorded. One E. simplicata population and seven E. polystachya populations were visited in field. As a result, additional flowering specimens as well as the first fruiting specimen of E. simplicata became available from a new locality in Roraima. We also conducted morphology analyses based on collections at MIRR, INPA, IAN, MG, and UFRR. Additionally, digitalized images of selected specimens of E. polystachya from F and NY, representing specimens along its distributional range (Barneby 1996) were analyzed. Vegetatively Entada simplicata is markedly distinct from the other species of E. sect. Entadopsis. In E. simplicata are only 1 – 3 pairs of leaflets each (18 –) 22 – 52 mm wide, while in E. polystachya, there are 5 – 11 pairs each 5 – 20 mm wide, and in E. polyphylla there are (12 -) 13 – 20 pairs each <8 mm wide. Herbarium studies indicate that Entada simplicata also differs from E. polystachya in a suite of fruit characters. Entada polystachya has wider fruits [(5) – 5.5 – 9.3 mm)], as well as a longer funiculus (27 – 39 mm); in E. simplicata fruits are 3.8 – 5.3 mm wide and the funiculus is 13 – 17 mm long. However, E. simplicata has distinctly longer fruit stipes (25 – 36 mm long) than E. polystachya (8 – 21 mm long). A qualitative and clear-cut fruit character is the presence and composition of the mesocarp: in E. polystachya, the mesocarp is relatively thick over the seed chambers, and is composed of a conspicuous spongy layer; in E. simplicata, the mesocarp is absent, including around seed chambers. Moreover, a recent morphological study (Feitoza, Rodrigues & Flores, unpublished data) has revealed that E. simplicata also differs in its seed and seedling morphology, further suggesting that specific rank should be considered appropriate.	en	Rodrigues, Rodrigo Schütz, Flores, Andréia Silva (2012): A new combination in Entada (Leguminosae) from Roraima, Brazil.
