Hymenaea allendis
Extinct species of legume / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hymenaea allendis is an extinct legume species in the family Fabaceae described from a single isolated fossil flower in amber. The species is known from a Late Oligocene to Early Miocene location in southern Mexico. Unlike the coeval extinct species Hymenaea mexicana and Hymenaea protera which are placed closer to the living species Hymenaea verrucosa of Africa,[1] H. allendis is closer in relation to the neotropical species of Hymenaea.[2]
