Taxonomic history
The first species of the genus was described in 1806 by Palisot de Beauvois[2] based on a specimen collected in West Africa and named Anthonotha macrophylla P.Beauv.. The genus was not recognized and in 1865[3] Baillon transferred it to the South American genus Vouapa described by Aublet in 1775. Vouapa also became synonym since the conserved name of Macrolobium was favored for the genus described by Schreber in 1789.
Most species now recognized within Anthonotha were originally described within the genus Macrolobium. The species Anthonotha macrophylla continued under the illegitimate name Macrolobium palisotii described by Bentham in 1865.[4] This was corrected by Macbride in 1919[5] by publishing the correct name M. macrophyllum (P.Beauv.) Macbride.
In 1955[6] J.Léonard reinstalled Anthonotha for the rest of the African Macrolobium species, after several other species had been transferred to his newly described genera Gilbertiodendron, Paramacrolobium, and Pellegrineodendron (Breteler 2006). Léonard (1957,[7] 1996[8]) subclassified the reinstalled Anthonotha with 26 species into five sections. Anthonotha section Anthonotha became the genus Anthonotha in a new, narrow sense (Aubréville & Pellegrin,[9] in Aubréville 1959: 280).
The species of the other four sections of Anthonotha are, all but two species (Breteler 2006[10]), placed in the genus Isomacrolobium by Breteler in 2008.[11] Isomacrolobium was later synonymized with Englerodendron.[12][13]
