الوصف: A new species of Andira from Estado Bolivar, Venezuela, is described. Andira tervequin- ata R. T. Pennington, G. Aymard & N. Cuello is clearly distinct from all other Andira species, al- though it might be confused with A. trifoliolata Ducke because specimens often have some trifoli- olate leaves. While preparing the account of Andira for the Flora of the Venezuelan Guayana, we found four specimens from two localities in Estado Bolivar representing a distinctive new species. The region covered by the Flora of the Venezuelan Guayana is one of particular interest for Andira. Two specimens (R E. Berry et al. 5102 and A. Gentry & S. Tillett 10889) from Estado Amazonas may also represent new species, but unfortunately the material cur- rently available is inadequate to confidently de- scribe them. New collections are needed from the white sand savanna and forest habitat, where these specimens were collected. These potential new spe- cies, the new species described in this paper, and new species of Andira found in Amazonian Ecuador and in the Brazilian State of Amapai (R. T. Pen- nington, unpublished data) together indicate that Andira has undergone considerable diversification around the fringes of Amazonia.
