First evidence of a monodominant (Englerodendron, Amherstieae, Detarioideae, Leguminosae) .tropical moist forest from the early Miocene (21.73 Ma) of Ethiopia
Many tropical wet forests are species-rich and have relatively even species frequency distributions. But, dominance by a single canopy species can also occur in tropical wet climates and can remain stable for centuries. These are uncommon globally, with the African wet tropics supporting more such communities than the Neotropics or... -

Genome resources for underutilised legume crops: genome sizes, genome skimming and marker development.
Underutilised crops suffer from under-investigation relative to more mainstream crops, but often possess improved stress tolerance and/or nutrition, making them potentially important for breeding programmes in the context of climate change and an expanding human population. Developing basic genome resources for underutilised crops may therefore catalyse analyses to facilitate their... -

Tephrosia kindiana (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae), a new species from Guinea.
, a new plant species from Guinea, is described and illustrated. It is a shrub 90 – 120 cm tall, multi-stemmed from the base. The leaves have 5 – 13 oblanceolate leaflets; the inflorescence consists of solitary flowers in the leaf axils, or 2 – 3-flowered fascicles; the flowers are...Haba, Pepe M. ; Holt, Beverley J. ; van der Burgt, Xander M.

An updated description of Parkia barnebyana (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae, mimosoid clade) from Amazonian Venezuela and Brazil, and comparison with other species in sect. Parkia with erect capitula.
An updated description, including characters of the capitulum and fertile flowers, is provided for . Originally recorded from southern Venezuela, this small canopy tree from igapó (blackwater flooded forest) is now also known by two collections from north-western Brazil. The capitula are yellow and held erect, with the fertile flowers... -

A taxonomic revision of the genus Weberbauerella Ulbr. (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae) in Peru and Chile.
The little-known and infrequently collected papilionoid legume genus is only known from outlying regions of the Atacama Desert. Presently it comprises three species, one in Chile and two in Peru. These small, woody, perennial species, enigmatic in both occurrence and form, are found growing in isolated populations in climatically extreme...Orellana-Garcia, A. ; Hechenleitner, P. ; Whaley, O.

Re-circumscription of the mimosoid genus Entada including new combinations for all species of the phylogenetically nested Elephantorrhiza (Leguminosae, Caesalpinioideae, mimosoid clade).
Recent phylogenomic analyses of 997 nuclear genes support the long-held view that the genus is congeneric with . is resolved as monophyletic only if the genus is subsumed within it. The two genera were distinguished solely by relatively minor differences in the mode of dehiscence of the fruits (a craspedium...O’Donnell, Shawn A. ; Ringelberg, Jens J. ; Lewis, Gwilym P.

Reinstatement of Ticanto (Leguminosae-Caesalpinioideae) – the final piece in the Caesalpinia group puzzle.
A recent molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Caesalpinia group demonstrated that it comprises 26 genera, but the recognition of a putative 27 genus, , remained in doubt. This study presents a phylogenetic analysis of ITS and five plastid loci revealing a robustly supported monophyletic group representing the Ticanto clade, sister... -

Disintegration of the genus Prosopis L. (Leguminosae, Caesalpinioideae, mimosoid clade).
Robust evidence from phylogenomic analyses of 997 nuclear genes has recently shown, beyond doubt, that the genus is polyphyletic with three separate lineages, each with affinities to other genera of mimosoids: (i) is an isolated lineage placed in the grade of , and that subtends the core mimosoid clade; (ii)... -

Boliviadendron, a new segregate genus of mimosoid legume (Leguminosae, Caesalpinioideae, mimosoid clade) narrowly endemic to the interior Andean valleys of Bolivia.
Phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequence data sampling all species of alongside representatives of genera of the Inga and Albizia clades of the larger ingoid clade of mimosoid legumes (sensu Koenen et al. 2020) confirm the non-monophyly of the genus . We show that is placed in the Albizia clade, while... -

Phylogenomic analysis of 997 nuclear genes reveals the need for extensive generic re-delimitation in Caesalpinioideae (Leguminosae).
Subfamily Caesalpinioideae with ca. 4,600 species in 152 genera is the second-largest subfamily of legumes (Leguminosae) and forms an ecologically and economically important group of trees, shrubs and lianas with a pantropical distribution. Despite major advances in the last few decades towards aligning genera with clades across Caesalpinioideae, generic delimitation... -

Is chiropterophily an evolutionary dead end? A phylogenetic test in the pantropical genus Parkia (Leguminosae, Caesalpinioideae, mimosoid clade).
Background and aims – Pollination systems often reflect adaptations to specific groups of pollinators, and these morphological specialisations have been important in the diversification of the angiosperms. Here, we study the evolution of the capitulum and pollination system in the pantropical genus Parkia, which comprises 35 species of trees distributed... -

Proposal to recognise the tribes Adinobotryeae and Glycyrrhizeae (Leguminosae subfamily Papilionoideae) based on chloroplast phylogenomic evidence.
Within the legume family, the taxonomic status of subtribe Glycyrrhizinae of tribe Galegeae and of the genus has been re-assessed. Based on genome skimming data, we conducted phylogenomic analyses of the inverted repeat-lacking clade within subfamily Papilionoideae. The results support the sister relationship between Glycyrrhizeae and . Glycyrrhizeae is resurrected...Duan, Lei ; Han, Li-Na ; Sirichamorn, Yotsawate ; Wen, Jun ; Compton, James A. …

Hybrid capture of 964 nuclear genes resolves evolutionary relationships in the mimosoid legumes and reveals the polytomous origins of a large pantropical radiation
PREMISE Targeted enrichment methods facilitate sequencing of hundreds of nuclear loci to enhance phylogenetic resolution and elucidate why some parts of the “tree of life” are difficult (if not impossible) to resolve. The mimosoid legumes are a prominent pantropical clade of ~3300 species of woody angiosperms for which previous phylogenies... -
