Journal ArticleDOI

A new subfamily classification of the leguminosae based on a taxonomically comprehensive phylogeny

Nasim Azani, +96 more
- 01 Feb 2017 - 
TL;DR: The classification of the legume family proposed here addresses the long-known non-monophyly of the traditionally recognised subfamily Caesalpinioideae, by recognising six robustly supported monophyletic subfamilies and reflects the phylogenetic structure that is consistently resolved.
Journal ArticleDOI

A 2013 linear sequence of legume genera set in a phylogenetic context — A tool for collections management and taxon sampling

TL;DR: The process used to develop the linear sequence and to rearrange the legume collection at Kew is discussed together with plans for future dissemination of changes to the sequence as new phylogenies are published and incorporated.
Journal ArticleDOI

A synopsis of the Asian and Australasian genus Phanera Lour. (Cercideae: Caesalpinioideae: Leguminosae) including 19 new combinations

TL;DR: The reinstatement of Phanera at generic rank based on molecular and morphological evidence has now been widely accepted, resulting in the need for new combinations inPhanera for many taxa described in Bauhinia, and the necessary combinations are made.
Journal ArticleDOI

A synopsis of the neotropical genus Schnella (Cercideae: Caesalpinioideae: Leguminosae) including 12 new combinations

TL;DR: This study comprises a summary of the taxonomic and nomenclatural history of Schnella, and presents a list of names accepted under Schnella , including 12 new combinations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cheniella gen. nov. (Leguminosae: Cercidoideae) from southern China, Indochina and Malesia

TL;DR: An analysis carried out for this study reveals Cheniella to be characterised by a pollen type that is unique to the genus and previously unknown in the Leguminosae, a natural group that warrant generic status.
