Molecular phylogenetic studies have prompted substantial revisions in the systematics of the former genus Abarema , resulting in the reinstatement of the genera Punjuba and Jupunba , and a re‐circumscription of Abarema . Despite these advances, some taxa still require nomenclatural adjustments to reflect monophyletic lineages. Here, we propose a new transfer from Abarema to Jupunba ( Jupunba levelii ) and propose Abarema agropecuaria as a new synonym of Jupunba floribunda . We also discuss additional names and taxa that remain in uncertain nomenclatural and systematic positions.
