Guianodendron
''Guianodendron praeclarum'' is a South American legume endemic to the Guiana Shield. It is the only member of the genus ''Guianodendron''. It has been segregated from ''Acosmium'' based on its unique combination of vegetative and floral traits, and it is related to ''Diplotropis''. It is the only member of the genus ''Guianodendron''.

Acosmium
''Acosmium'' is a South America genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. Three species are currently recognized. Most ''Acosmium'' species have been recently transferred to ''Leptolobium'' and one species to the South American ''Guianodendron'' while the genus ''Acosmium'' itself has been transferred from the tribe Sophoreae to the tribe Dalbergieae in a monophyletic clade informally known as the ''Pterocarpus'' clade.

Leptolobieae
Leptolobieae is a Neotropical, early-branching monophyletic clade of the flowering plant subfamily Faboideae or Papilionaceae that are mostly found in South America. Description This tribe is composed of five genera, two of which were originally included in the genus ''Acosmium'' (''Guianodendron'' and ''Leptolobium'') and one of which was originally assigned to the genus ''Diplotropis'' (''Staminodianthus''). All of these genera were traditionally included in the tribe Sophoreae. However, recent molecular phylogenetic analyses resolved these five genera into a strongly-supported monophyletic clade, which warranted the reinstatement of the tribe Leptolobieae. A potential morphological synapomorphy for the tribe is: "tufts of minute colleter-like glands in the axils of bract and bracteoles".

Guiana Shield
The Guiana Shield (french: Plateau des Guyanes, Bouclier guyanais; nl, Hoogland van Guyana, Guianaschild; pt, Planalto das Guianas, Escudo das Guianas; es, Escudo guayanés) is one of the three cratons of the South American Plate. It is a 1.7 billion-year-old Precambrian geological formation in northeast South America that forms a portion of the northern coast. The higher elevations on the shield are called the Guiana Highlands, which is where the table-like mountains called tepuis are found. The Guiana Highlands are also the source of some of the world's most well-known waterfalls such as Angel Falls, Kaieteur Falls and Cuquenan Falls. The Guiana Shield underlies Guyana (previously British Guiana), Suriname (previously Dutch Guiana) and French Guiana (or Guyane), much of southern Venezuela, as well as parts of Colombia and Brazil. The rocks of the Guiana Shield consist of metasediments and metavolcanics ( greenstones) overlain by sub-horizontal layers of sandstones, quartz ...
