Lectotypification of names in Parkia R.Br. (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae, mimosoid clade) for Africa and Madagascar.
Ten specific names plus those of three varieties, which refer to the four currently recognised species of in Africa and Madagascar ( A.Chev. (Jacq.) R.Br. ex G.Don Welw. ex Oliv., R.Vig.), are listed. Their types are enumerated with lectotypes indicated where necessary and in a few cases, a second-step lectotypification...Hopkins, Helen C. F.

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... -

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.

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... -

An updated checklist of Araceae, Leguminosae and Myrtaceae of the department of Boyacá, Colombia, including keys to genera and new occurrence records.
Baseline checklists for the Leguminosae (Fabaceae), Araceae and Myrtaceae from the Colombian department of Boyacá are available from the Catalogue of Plants and Lichens of Colombia. These lists were supplemented by thorough herbarium and literature searches by a collaborative group of local and international experts, and further enhanced by local... -

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... -
