Abstract
Historically, many authors of regional accounts of the Leguminosae (Fabaceae) tribe Cercideae divided the
caesalpinioid genus Bauhinia sens. lat. into several segregate genera including the genus Phanera. However, during
the last fifty years, Bauhinia has more often been recognised as a broadly circumscribed taxon with Phanera reduced
to a subgenus of Bauhinia sens. lat. The reinstatement of Phanera at generic rank based on molecular and
morphological evidence has now been widely accepted, resulting in the need for new combinations in Phanera for
many taxa described in Bauhinia. Some of those names have been published recently by other authors so here we
make the necessary combinations for those taxa still lacking names in Phanera. In addition, we include all published
Phanera binomials and trinomials here and to each assign a status of accepted name, synonym or excluded name.
The recent reinstatement of the New World genus Schnella to which c. 40 Phanera species were moved transforms
Phanera into a strictly Asian and Australasian taxon. Phanera can be distinguished from Bauhinia sens. str. and from
Schnella by a combination of morphological characters, but the morphological boundary with another closely related
Asiatic genus, Lasiobema is unclear and warrants further investigation. We present a table comparing morphological
characters of Phanera, Schnella, Lasiobema and Bauhinia sens. str.
Introduction
Leguminosae is the third largest of the angiosperm families, numbering c. 19,500 species (LPWG 2013). Three
subfamilies are traditionally recognised. The smallest is Caesalpinioideae comprising c. 2300 species in 171 genera
arranged in 4 tribes. One of those tribes, Cercideae, accommodates two subtribes, Cercidinae and Bauhiniinae as
recognised by Wunderlin (1979) and Wunderlin et al. (1981). Subtribe Cercidinae comprises three genera, namely
Cercis L., Adenolobus (Harv. ex Benth. & Hook.f.) Torre. & Hillc. and Griffonia Baill., whilst the number of genera
recognized in subtribe Bauhiniinae has varied from as many as 26 genera (Wunderlin 1976) to a single genus
Bauhinia sens. lat. (Wunderlin et al. 1981). Since 1981, the majority of authors of regional taxonomic accounts have
upheld the concept of a broadly circumscribed heterogeneous Bauhinia sens. lat. (Larsen et al. 1980, 1984, 1996, Li
et al. 2010). Phylogenetic analyses of nucleotide sequence data have provided convincing evidence that Bauhinia
sens. lat. is not a natural taxon (Bruneau et al. 2001 & 2008, Hao et al. 2003, Sinou et al. 2009) and the proposal by
Lewis & Forest (2005) to recognise eight generic segregates, namely Bauhinia sens. str., Barkyla F.Muell.,
Brenierea Humbert, Gigasiphon Drake, Lasiobema (Korth.) Miq., Lysiphyllum (Benth.) de Wit, Phanera Lour.,
Piliostigma Hochst. and Tylosema (Schweinf.) Torre & Hillc. was largely supported by the findings of Sinou et al.
(2009) in the most broadly sampled published phylogenetic study of tribe Cercideae to date. Additional
molecular-based evidence comes from a study of the rp12 intron which is present in chloroplast DNA of most
angiosperms including Phanera but absent from Bauhinia sens. str. (Lai et al. 1997). Non-molecular characters that
distinguish Phanera from Bauhinia sens. str. include habit, morphology (de Wit 1956), pollen morphology (Larsen
1975), flavonoid data (Salatino et al.1999) and volatile oil data (Duarte-Almeida et al. 2004).

Phanera Lour.: taxonomic rank, generic limits and relationships
In 1790, Loureiro described Phanera to accommodate a single species, Phanera coccinea Lour. The most
detailed regional revision of the genus ever written was published by de Wit (1956) who enumerated 44 species in
Malaysia, the centre of species diversity for the genus. There has never been a monograph of Phanera, but Lewis and
Forest (2005) estimated the genus to comprise 120–130 species, since reduced to 80–90 species following the
transfer of c. 40 species to the New World genus Schnella (Wunderlin 2010). For much of the last thirty years the
botanical taxonomic community has commonly treated Phanera as one of four subgenera within a broadly
circumscribed Bauhinia sens. lat. (Bortoluzzi et al. 2006, Chen 1988, Larsen et al. 1980 & 1984, Wunderlin et al.
1981, Wunderlin & Eilers 2009) although other authors continued to maintain Phanera as a distinct genus
(Verdcourt 1979) and to provide new combinations for species previously placed in Bauhinia (de Queiroz 2006).
Wunderlin et al. (1976) recognised the heterogeneity within Bauhinia subgenus Phanera by proposing the subgenus
be divided into 11 sections, three of which, sects. Lasiobema, Lysiphyllum and Tylosema were treated as distinct
genera by Lewis and Forest (2005). They also suggested that Phanera sect. Schnella might need to be reinstated as a
distinct genus based on a preliminary phylogenetic analysis of Cercideae by Forest (unpublished data). That view
was supported by published phylogenetic analyses (Hao et al. 2003, Sinou et al. 2009). Subsequently, Wunderlin
(2010) reinstated Schnella at generic rank to which he added the species of Phanera sect. Caulotretus as a second
generic section of Schnella. This reclassification came only months after Vaz (2010) had transferred the majority of
the same species from Bauhinia sens. lat. to Phanera. However, the decision to combine these two former Phanera
sections in the single genus Schnella by Wunderlin (2010) may have been premature because a recent phylogenetic
analysis of subtribe Bauhiniinae based on chloroplast and nuclear regions did not resolve species sampled from the
two sections as a monophyletic group (Li et al., unpublished data). Nevertheless, as a consequence of the recent
reinstatement of Schnella into which c. 40 New World species have been transferred, Phanera is now a strictly Asian
and Australasian taxon.
Closely associated with Phanera is the Asiatic genus Lasiobema as indicated, albeit with weak support, by
Sinou et al. (2009). Their close relationship had previously been demonstrated by Hao et al. (2003) in a phylogenetic
investigation of Phanera based on Internal Transcribed Spacer data which included 23 species of Phanera and four of
Lasiobema. Those 27 species were resolved together in a strongly supported clade. Within that clade, neither genus
was resolved as monophyletic but support was very low so it would be premature to draw any firm conclusions other
than Lasiobema and Phanera are closely related. The relationship of Lasiobema with Phanera requires further
molecular and morphological studies and, in consequence, here we do not include Lasiobema within Phanera.
The phylogenetic study of Hao et al. (2003) included five (of the nine) species of Phanera section Corymbosae.
They were resolved together, strongly supported as a monophyletic group on a lineage placed also with strong
support, as sister to the remaining Phanera and Lasiobema species samples. Section Corymbosae species form a
morphologically homogenous group, with a distinct pollen type (Larsen 1975, Banks unpublished data), and have a
generally more northerly geographical distribution than the rest of Phanera. Section Corymbosae has a centre of
species diversity in S. China compared with Borneo for the remaining Phanera taxa. We consider this evidence
sufficient to justify recognising the species of Phanera section Corymbosae as a distinct segregate genus for we
propose a new name in a separate paper (Mackinder et al. unpublished data)
To summarise, we recognise Phanera here as a genus of 82 species as circumscribed by Lewis & Forest (2005)
but excluding the following three groups of species: (i) sect. Schnella recently reinstated at generic rank by
Wunderlin (2010); (ii) sect. Caulotretus, placed in synonymy under Schnella also by Wunderlin (2010) and (iii)
section Corymbosae de Wit 1956), to be described as a new genus (Mackinder et al. unpublished data). A table
comparing details of habit, morphology and geographical distribution of Phanera (as recognised here) with Schnella,
Lasiobema and Bauhinia sens. str. is presented (Table 1).
How the list of names was assembled
A list of Phanera binomials and trinomials was assembled from multiple sources, initially those in electronic
form including IPNI (International Plant Names Index: http://www.ipni.org/), Tropicos (http://www.tropicos.org/),
TPL (The Plant List: http://www.theplantlist.org/) and ILDIS (International Legume Database and Information
Service: http://www.legumes-online.net/ildis/aweb/database.htm). Additionally, we consulted major regional
treatments such as “A revision of Malaysian Bauhinieae” (de Wit 1956) and the accounts of Bauhinia sens. lat. in

Flore du Cambodge, du Laos et du Viêtnam (Larsen et al. 1980); Flora of Thailand (Larsen et al. 1984); Flora
Malesiana (Larsen & Larsen 1996) and Flora of China (Li et al. 2010) as well as papers describing new taxa or
publishing new combinations (Thothathri 1965, Schmitz 1977, Vaz 2010, Wunderlin 2011, Bandyopadhyay et al.
2012). Consequently, the taxa presented here are based principally on the taxonomy of regional flora treatments. On
the few occasions that we encountered conflicting taxonomic views among the treatments, we opted to uphold the
most recent taxonomic placement and have noted this under the relevant accepted name in the synopsis of species
that follows.

We aim to account for all published Phanera names in this checklist. We have also identified nineteen taxa
which belong in Phanera but until now have lacked published names in that genus. We provide the new
combinations here. Previously published Phanera names that relate to taxa no longer referred to the genus are listed
under excluded names. Regrettably we have discovered very little about a handful of Phanera names which are listed
at the end of the account as doubtful or poorly known.
The majority of the checklist comprises Phanera accepted names listed alphabetically, with infraspecific taxa
also listed alphabetically, except for the typical taxon which is listed first. Basionyms are included where relevant
and types are cited for basionyms of new combinations as required by the International Code of Botanical
Nomenclature.
Country Distributions
Distributions by country were initially taken from ILDIS, subsequently confirmed using literature sources
(major Floras as listed above and from recently published new species papers). Additional previously unpublished
country records, based on herbarium specimens lodged at K were added to the distribution (voucher details are cited
directly after the relevant country). The native distributions for species which have infraspecific taxa are reported for
the lowest individual taxonomic rank and also collectively for the whole species.

Doubtful or poorly known names
Here we list Phanera names which are not validly published or whose application is uncertain. Phanera cordifolia
Miq., Fl. Ned. Ind. 1(1): 66. 1855. = Bauhinia cordifolia Roxb. Fl. Ind., ed. 2: 332. 1824. Type unknown. According
to Hou et al. (1996), these names apply to a taxon described from the Molucca Is. and the specific epithet alludes to
leaf shape and venation. Phanera cordifolia Miq belongs to P. finlaysoniana but cannot be placed in one of the
varieties with any certainty. Phanera dasycarpa Miq., Fl. Ind. Bat. 1(1): 1078. 1858. The name refers to a single
fruiting collection made by Teijssmann in Sumatra which De Wit (1956) referred (in synonymy) to Bauhinia
(Phanera) rahmattii, a designation disputed by Hou et al. (1996), who were unable to place the collection
definitively. Phanera maculata A. Rich. ex Teijsm. & Binn., Cat. Hort. Bog.: 268. 1866 “Bourbon”. nomen. nud.
Phanera ochroleuca Miq., Fl. Ned. Ind. 1(1): 69. 1855. Refers to a Blume s.n. collection (not seen), a possible
variant of Phanera glauca possessing leaves that are slightly hairier below and bearing more numerous secondary
veins than typical P. glauca. Phanera parvifolia Teijsm. & Binn., Cat. Hort. Bog.: 268. 1866. “China”. nomen. nud.
De Wit (1956) notes that this name is represented by sterile herbarium specimens (in BO) which probably belong
to Bauhinia corymbosa Roxb. Phanera rosea A. Rich. ex Teijsm. & Binn., Cat. Hort. Bog.: 268. 1866.
“Madagascar”. nomen. nud.
