Resumo: The purpose of this text is to provide a long-term record of occurrences of the species Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit. in the Brazilian territory, in order to (i) determine if its introduction occurred before the earliest official record, (ii) identify points of occurrence in Brazil, and (iii) assess its status as a useful although invasive plant. The text is partly based on research done on the confirmed presence of this plant in the Brasília National Park, located in Brazil’s Federal District. Three databases available on the Internet containing information from several herbariums were accessed to obtain the location and the dates of the relevant records of the plant in Brazilian territory. We found that the species was rather widely present in the Brazilian territory before the official record of its earliest introduction. In addition, we found that the plant’s current geographic distribution indicates that it continues to have a strong invasive potential in Brazil, especially because there are social and technical incentives to cultivate it in rural properties.

El texto se basa en parte en una investigación sobre la presencia confirmada de esta especie de origen exótica en el Parque Nacional de Brasília, en el Distrito Federal brasileño. Fueron consultadas tres bases de datos disponibles en internet para obtener la ubicación y las fechas de los registros relevantes de la planta en el territorio brasileño. La investigación constató que la especie tenía una presencia relativamente amplia en el Brasil mucho antes del primer registro oficial de su introducción. Adicionalmente, se constató que la distribución geográfica actual de la planta indica que la misma aún tiene un fuerte potencial invasivo en Brasil, especialmente porque existen incentivos económicos y técnicos para su cultivo en propiedades rurales The purpose of this text is to provide a long-term record of occurrences of the species Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit. in the Brazilian territory, in order to (i) determine if its introduction occurred before the earliest official record, (ii) identify points of occurrence in Brazil, and (iii) assess its status as a useful although invasive plant.
