Tendrilled liana; stem puberulous or glabrescent, lenticels ferruginous, rounded or elliptic; cross-section simple or with neo formations when mature. Leaves trifoliolate; stipules minute, ca. 0.5 mm long, pubescent, triangular; petiole 1–5.5 cm long, canaliculate or sometimes semiterete, glabrous or puberulous; terminal petiolules 0–0.3 cm long, lateral petiolules 0–0.2 cm long; leaflets glabrous, puberulous along veins or sparsely pubescent on both surfaces, the leaflet secondary venation semi-craspedodromous; secondary veins 3–5 pairs, with irregular spacing and domatia on the abaxial side of secondary vein axils; intersecondaries presents; tertiary veins irregular reticulate or alternate-percurrent; margins subentire to repand-serrate, glabrous or ciliate, revolute, the teeth 2–5 (8–12), sometimes reduced to inconspicuous glands; terminal leaflet 3–9.7 × 1.5–5 cm, ovate or oblong, the apex acute to obtuse, mucronate, the base decurrent; lateral leaflets 3–7.7 × 1–4.3 cm, ovate or oblong, asymmetrical, the apex acute or obtuse, mucronate, the base decurrent. Thyrses axillary or terminal, umbelliform, 2.5–7.8 long; peduncle 1.5–6.5 cm long; secondary peduncle 0–0.5 cm long; cincinni numerous; peduncle of cincinnus 2.5–4 mm long. Flower ca. 3–5 mm long; pedicel 2–2.5 mm long, glabrous or puberulous; sepals 0.5–0.8 mm long, connate at the base, deltoid, abaxially puberulous and adaxially villous; petals 1.5–1.7 mm long, spatulate, erose, clawed, abaxially glabrous and adaxially villous; appendages ca. 1 mm long, shorter than the petals, bifid, villous; nectary disc glabrous, annular. Staminate flower with stamens 8, 2.5–3.5 mm long, the filaments villous on lower half, the anthers 0.4–0.5 mm long, glabrous; pistillode <0.5 mm long, villous. Pistillate flower with staminodes ca. 1.5 mm long, with same indumentum as the stamens; pistil 0.5–1 mm long, villous. Fruits chartaceous, 2.2–3.8 × 1.5–2.6 cm; accrescent pedicel 5–6 (7) mm long; stipe (4) 5–8 mm long; seed locule subglobose; epicarp glabrous, sometimes puberulous on the locule, rarely tomentose on stipe and base of fruits; cavity of seed locule villous with simple and capitate trichomes with uniseriate stalk and unicellular or multicellular terminal cells. Seed 5–6 × 3–4 mm, ellipsoid. Distribution and habitat. Thinouia mucronata is known from tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests; tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forest; tropical and subtropical grassland, savannas and shrublands; and desert and xeric shrublands in northern Argentina, southern Bolivia, SE Brazil, and Paraguay (Fig. 13 B), in cerrado, chaco, gallery, ombrophilous dense, semi-deciduous and deciduous forests. Flowering from December to March and fruiting from December to August. Notes. This species is strongly supported as sister to T. paraguayensis (Fig. 4). They both have simple stems or with neo formations when mature, leaflets with mucronate apex, flowers 3–5 mm long, and chartaceous fruits, with seed locule subglobose. However, T. mucronata is distinguished by the semi-craspedodromous secondary venation and 3–5 pairs of secondary veins, where basal secondary veins form an acute angle with the midvein, (vs. craspedodromous and 4–5 (6) pairs of secondaries, basal secondary veins form an obtuse angle with the midvein). Conservation status. Thinouia mucronata possesses a broad EOO of 3,328,158.18 km 2 and an AOO of 320.00 km 2, with more than 10 known localities. The EOO values and the number of threat situations extrapolate the thresholds for the inclusion of the species in a threat category. Moreover, there are no data on population declines for the application of other criteria. Thus, it should be regarded as Least Concern (LC). Selected specimens examined. Argentina. Jujuy • Dep.
