Caamembeca (Polygalaceae) is a genus on 13 species endemic to South America. This genus is morphologically distinctive, e.g. supported by the putative morphologic synapomorphy of paired glands in a stipular position and on the rachis. However, its monophyly has not been firmly tested as only four species have been included in prev phylogenetic examinations. We present a phylogenetic analyses of 11 species based at nrITS, matK, the trnL intron, and trnL-trnF intergenic shim. Relationships among Caamembeca species are discussed, and three new combinations are made, Caamembeca amazonensis, Caamembeca autranii, and Caamembeca formosa, providing an improves understanding of the genus.
