ABSTRACT
Based on the analysis of abundant specimens, including type-collections, four names are synonymized here: Lonchocarpus albiflorus Hassler (= L. leucanthus Burkart) under L. campestris Mart. ex Benth., L. ernesti Harms under L. margaritensis Pittier, Robinia nicou Aubl. under L. latifolius (Willd.) DC., and L. ehrenbergii Urb. under L. rubiginosus Benth. The lectotype of L. campestris and L. ehrenbergii is also proposed.
