03FC87E7FFACFFE4FF0D7DA0F2EDF829.taxon	description	According to Lewis (1994, 1998), Cenostigma diversifolium and C. pyramidale s. s. (previously C. pyramidale var. diversifolium and C. pyramidale var. pyramidale, respectively) are distinguished from one another by terminal leaflet size, inflorescence indumentum colour, bract size, region of pedicel articulation, and standard claw apex, which sufficiently qualifies these taxa as independent species in the context where they are inserted and considering the current knowledge about this group, in my opinion. The same author also cites a resemblance between Cenostigma bracteosum and C. diversifolium, species that may frequently be misidentified without reproductive material. In his book “ Caesalpinia: a revision of the Poincianella-Erythrostemon group ”, Lewis (1998) designated the gathering Gardner 6006 at K as first-step lectotype of Caesalpinia pyramidalis var. diversifolia. At that time there was no barcoding system for Neotropical specimens in the Royal Botanic Gardens herbarium (G. P. Lewis, pers. comm.), and the two sheets of that collection were further considered two different specimens, receiving two different barcodes. Hence, I herein propose a narrowing second-step lectotypification according to Art. 9.17 of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (Turland et al. 2018).	en	Gaem, Paulo Henrique (2021): A nomenclatural note in Cenostigma (Leguminosae, Caesalpinioideae).
