Abstract
Four new species of Mimosa series Cordistipulae (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae: Mimosoid clade) are described from Bahia state, Brazil: M. crassifolia, M. bahiana and M. confusa from rupestrian grasslands (campo rupestre vegetation) of the Chapada Diamantina mountain range, and M. melosa from inland dry scrub on sand dunes of the São Francisco River. We provide illustrations, comments on the geographical distribution, preliminary conservation assessments, and morphological affinities.
