Three new species of Prosopidastrum (Mimosaceae) from Argentina

The genus Prosopidastrum (Mimosaceae) was described by Burkart on the basis of two species: P. mexicanum (Dressler) Burkart from Mexico with fruits 12 mm wide, dehiscing by two valves dividing into 1-seeded segments, these separating from a persistent replum, with leaflets 4-8 × 2-4 mm, and P. globo...
