            <p> Allophylastrum Acev.-Rodr. gen. nov.</p>
            <p>Latin.</p>
            <p>A Allophylus flore solitario, apetalo, nectaris cupulato differt</p>
            <p>Type.</p>
            <p>A. frutescens Acev.-Rodr.</p>
            <p>Description.</p>
            <p>Small trees or shrubs. Stipules wanting. Leaves alternate, trifoliolate; leaflets serrate. Flowers solitary, axillary or in short racemes, actinomorphic, unisexual with staminate flowers sometimes bearing a rudimentary 2-locular gynoecium; pedicels elongated, non-articulate; calyx 4-merous, sepals of similar length, in two whorls; petals wanting; disc cupular; stamens (5)6, the filaments slightly of unequal length, connate at base, ovary 2-locular, with a single ovule per locule. Fruit of 1-2 basally connate, indehiscent monocarps, with fleshy exocarp, and a semi-woody endocarp; seeds exarillate, with papery testa.</p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>One species, known only from Guyana and Brazil (Roraima).</p>
            <p> Discusssion. The new genus is morphologically similar to  Allophylus as they share similar shrubby-arboreal habit, and trifoliolate leaves without stipules (  Acevedo-Rodríguez et al. 2011). </p>
            <p>Key to Allophylastrum and Allophylus</p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p> The name  Allophylastrum is proposed to indicate its close resemblance to  Allophylus . </p>

            <p> Allophylastrum frutescens Acev.-Rodr. sp. nov. Fig. 1 </p>
            <p>Latin.</p>
            <p>Frutex vel arbor parva; folia trifoliolata; foliola chartacea, elliptica, margine serrato; flores apetali, monocarpus ellipsoideus, glabrus.</p>
            <p>Type.</p>
            <p> Brazil. Roraima, Sema Ecological Station, Ilha de  Maracá , 3°22'N, 61°25'W, E.S. Silva &amp; J. Lima 5828 (holotype NY!, isotypes INPA, K!-2, U-2!). </p>
            <p> Description . </p>
            <p> Shrub or small tree to 7 m tall. Branches terete, glabrous, brown with grayish lineate lenticels. Leaves trifoliolate; petioles flattened-canaliculate adaxially, 1.6-4.5 cm long, minutely puberulent; leaflets elliptic, 6-10.8  × 1.3-3.4 cm (the lateral ones smaller), chartaceous, the base cuneate on distal leaflets, obtuse-acute and asymmetrical on lateral ones, the apex acute to acuminate, the margins serrate. Flowers axillary, solitary or in short (1-2 cm long), axillary racemes; pedicels 8-10 mm long; sepals 4, concave, obovate, rounded at apex, puberulent, ca. 2 mm long; disc cupular, glabrous, with sub-fimbriate margin; filaments glabrous, 4-5 mm long; pistillode ca.  0.4 mm long; pistillate flowers unknown. Monocarps ellipsoid, divaricate, glabrous, 1-1.2 cm long; exocarp red, fleshy and thin; endocarp subwoody. Seed obovoid, ca. 1 cm long, with papery testa. </p>
            <p>Pollen.</p>
            <p> Pollen grains in  Allophylastrum frutescens are subglobose in equatorial view and obtusely 4- or 5-angled in polar view, 4-5-porate, with rugulate ornamentation (Fig. 2a-d). Size as measured from 20 pollen grains using light microscopy varies from 24.57-31.96  µm long by 21.86-28.10  µm wide. Generally,  Sapindaceae pollen is 3-aperturate or less often 2- or 4-aperturate (  Acevedo-Rodríguez et al. 2011). Therefore, this is the first time a 5-aperturate pollen is reported for the family.  Allophylastrum pollen resembles that of  Allophylus by being porate and having a rugulate ornamentation (  Acevedo-Rodríguez et al. 2011); however the shape and the number of apertures is quite distinctive from that of  Allophylus , where the pollen is triangular in polar view, oblate in equatorial view, and triporate. </p>
            <p>Distribution and ecology.</p>
            <p>Known only from Brazil (Roraima) and Guyana, on terra firme forest.</p>
            <p>Specimens examined.</p>
            <p>Guyana: Without locality, M.R. Schomburgk 505 (B), R.H. Schomburgk 336 (BM, K, NY, W). Brazil. Roraima, Mun. Boa Vista, road to Santa Rosa, secondary forest, J. Lima 812 (INPA, K).</p>
            <p>Note.</p>
            <p> The above cited collections by Schomburgk were studied by L.A.T. Radlkofer (1829-1927) but wrongly identified as  Allophylus edulis (St. Hil.) Hieron. ex Niederlein, a vegetatively similar species. </p>
