Letter from the Editor
Dear Bean Bag Fellow
I hope your 2019 has been wonderful so far!
Apologies for the delay in getting this issue to you. A lot has been going on,
including submission of papers to the forthcoming Advances in Legume
Systematics 13. As you will see, this is another long issue. And finally, now we
have a new BB webpage, although it is currently undergoing a change into a new
layout expected to go live very soon.
A lot has been going on in 2018 in the legume world, as it is usual for such a
large and fascinating family!
This issue starts by having a look at the BB Website and issues online.
Afterwards, we will look at “Reports from the legume world” with beautiful
images of Flemingia species from India, and go back into 2018, with the
International Legume Conference in Sendai, Japan, and some looks into 2019.
Several beautiful photographs of legumes from all over the world will delight
you. And also those of the Australian Pilbara region with its Vigna species. In
conclusion, as always, you’ll find the traditional list of legume bibliography.
Despite the new webpage, the Bean Bag Newsletter is still sent out through the
BB Google Group, which is the only purpose of this google group. For
correspondence about the BB, members are invited to email the editorial email:
beanbag.kew@gmail.com.
Finally, I am very grateful to Gwil Lewis and Leo Borges for their editorial
assistance and to all contributors of this issue for sharing their news, insights,
images and publication citations, making this probably one of the longest issues!
Thank you for your attention.
Kind regards,
Brigitte Marazzi

REPORTS FROM THE LEGUME WORLD
Flemingia Roxb. ex W. T. Aiton is one of the
wild relatives of the pigeon pea, Cajanus
cajan. There are 46 taxa, distributed in the
old world tropics. In India, there are 26
species and one variety. Four species, F.
gracilis Mukerjee, F. nilgheriensis (Baker)
Wight ex Cooke, F. rollae (Hemadri & Billore)
An. Kumar and F. tuberosa Dalzell are
endemic to the southern Western Ghats.
Flemingia angustifolia Roxb. has been
neglected by many researchers and has
been resurrected here. A previous new
combination made by other authors, i.e. F.
stricta subsp. pteropus (Baker) K. K. Khanna
& An. Kumar is found to be conspecific with
F. stricta Roxb.
Although F. praecox C. B. Clarke ex Prain was
previously reported to occur in Madhya
Pradesh, our study suggests that this species
is not found in India, but occurs only in
Myanmar.
Three species complexes exist in the genus.
The Macrophylla complex comprises F.
latifolia Benth., F. macrophylla (Willd.)
Merr., F. nana Roxb., F. prostrata Roxb.
Junior ex Roxb., F. semialata Roxb. and F.
sootepensis Craib. We treat all of them as
distinct species.
FLEMINGIA (PAPILIONOIDEAE) IN INDIA: A TAXONOMIC REVISION
Communicated by Sandip K. Gavade, Shivaji University, India
Sandip K. Gavade is doing his doctoral dissertation
on Flemingia, supervised by Dr. Manoj M. Lekhak at
the Angiosperm Taxonomy Laboratory, Department
of Botany, Shivaji University, Kolhapur- 416004,
Maharashtra, India. They collaborate with L. J. G.
van der Maesen from Naturalis Biodiversity Center,
in Leiden, The Netherlands.

The Strobilifera complex includes F. bracteata
(Roxb.) Wight, F. fruticulosa Wall. ex Benth., F.
strobilifera (L.) R. Br. and F. tiliacea
Niyomdham. We recognize all these species
as distinct. Finally, the Rhynchosioides
complex comprises F. gracilis, F. nilgheriensis,
F. rollae and Flemingia sp. nov., which we
treat as distinct species. Nomenclatural
problems encountered are discussed and
have been resolved for each species of
Flemingia (in India).
Two species collected from Maharashtra and
Jharkhand in the present study could not be
identified using Indian literature. Further
studies are needed to assess their taxonomic
status. We have reported F. sootepensis
(earlier known from Thailand) from India for
the first time.
In conclusion, the present work is
fundamental in understanding the taxonomy
of the group. Genus Flemingia has great
economic potential and is an important
genetic resource. Some species have
important traits such as disease resistance
and salt tolerance, which can be used in
breeding programmes. It could be used in
improving protein quality of Cajanus cajan.
As the present work provides a detailed
inventory of Flemingia species in India,
information on endemic species will be very
useful for setting their conservation priorities.
Well-resolved taxonomy will form the basis of
needed future studies on various aspects, like
anatomy, phylogeny, and phytochemistry.

A LOOK INTO 2019
BUILDING A CHARACTER STATEMENTS LIST
Communicated by Leonardo Borges on behalf of the Legume Phylogeny Working Group
Following the goals of the LPWG, in 2018 we got
back to the plan of developing a comprehensive
character statements list for the Leguminosae.
This list is based on characters used in published
papers on legume phylogeny, plus updates on
coding, terminology, and new additions by the
systematics community. During the 7th ILC, in
Sendai, Japan, a number of researchers from
around the globe joined the team that is working
on this task.
With their help, we believe the project will gain
traction and produce a useful resource for
legume research in taxonomy, systematics, and
morphological evolution. Nonetheless, building
such a list is a complex task. We welcome people
interested in contributing to this project to get in
touch with Leonardo Borges at:

A LOOK INTO 2019
ADVANCES IN LEGUME SYSTEMATICS 13
Communicated by Colin Hughes, University of Zürich, Switzerland
Part 13 of the Advances in Legume Systematics
(ALS) series is currently in preparation for
publication as a Special Issue of Australian
Systematic Botany.
The first two volumes of ALS, edited by Roger
Polhill and Peter Raven, were published in 1981,
arising from the first International Legume
Conference (ILC) at Kew in 1978, with a further
10 volumes appearing over the subsequent 35
years.
ALS Part 13 follows on from the ILC7 at Sendai in
Japan and will include a set of ca. 15 papers on
diverse legume systematics topics including
fossils, morphology, taxonomy, classification,
genomics, databasing, phylogeny, biogeography
and economic botany.
The extended deadline for submission of papers
has now passed and the editors (Colin Hughes,
Ashley Egan, Tadashi Kajita and Daniel Murphy)
are working to bring this volume to fruition, with
publication anticipated later in 2019.

Most of the eight papers in the selection on
legume morphology presented in this issue of the
Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society (volume
187) were presented in the international Legume
morphology symposium and workshop held in
November 2015, in Botucatu, São Paulo, Brazil.
This was the second formal meeting of the
Legume Morphology Working Group (LMWG),
now fully integrated into the Legume Phylogeny
Working Group (LPWG).
Three contributions are mainly focused on filling
gaps in legume morphology: osmophores
(Marinho et al. 2018), extrafloral nectaries
(Gonzalez and Marazzi 2018), and zygomorphic
detarioid flowers (Kochanovski et al. 2018).
The usefulness of morphology in a phylogenetic
context is explored in three other papers: pollen
morphology (Banks and Lewis 2018) and leaflet
anatomy (Pinto et al. 2018, Silva et al. 2018).
The last two contributions included in this issue
are more focused on evolutionary and ecological
aspects of plant phenotypes: growth form in
Andean Lupinus (Contreras-Ortiz et al. 2018) and
testing division of labour in Chamaecrista
flowers (Nogueira et al. 2018).

A SPECIAL ISSUE DEDICATED TO LEGUME MORPHOLOGY
LEGUME BIBLIOGRAPHY UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT
Full citations of all papers are listed in the
section “Publications News from the
World of Legume Systematics” on p. 18 of
this BB Newsletter issue.
Overall, the studies presented in this issue cover a
wide range of morphological topics and together
fit well with the goals established by the former
LMWG, which are still alive:
(1) to evaluate how comparative morphological
studies may help to better understand species
groups and poorly-resolved molecular
phylogenetic relationships; (2) to identify gaps in
our knowledge about legume morphology and co-
ordinate efforts to fill these gaps and (3) to
promote consistency in legume morphological
terminology.
Some contributions go beyond the original goals
and develop under-studied aspects of biology of
Fabaceae or attempt to establish links between
morphology, evolution, diversification and
ecology.
Edited by Leonardo Borges, Brigitte Marazzi, Gwilym Lewis, and Michael Fay (Editor-in-Chief)
Wild relatives of crop plants help broaden the genetic
diversity available for plant breeding. To fill a geographic
collecting gap and sample germplasm that is naturally adapted
to harsh environments, collections of the native legume Vigna
were made from roadsides around the Pilbara. All 32
collections proved to be morphotypes of the V. lanceolata
Benth. species complex, including a diminutive form (recently
described as V. triodiophila) found around rockpiles near
Karratha that appears to be well-adapted to grazing by rock
wallabies.
It was an interesting trip. The Pilbara is well worth visiting.

Smithsonian Contributions to Botany 109: 1-45.
LEGUME BIBLIOGRAPHY UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT
From the abstract: On the basis of morphological and
molecular phylogenetic analyses, the genus Paloue is
revised to include the genera Elizabetha and
Paloveopsis. As newly circumscribed, Paloue
comprises 17 species, 2 subspecies, and 2 varieties.
The following 11 new combinations in Paloue are
made, and one new hybrid is recognised:
P. bicolor (Ducke) Redden
P. coccinea (Schomb. ex Benth.) Redden
P. duckei (Huber) Redden
P. durissima (Ducke) Redden
P. emarginata (R. S. Cowan) Redden
P. fanshawei (R. S. Cowan) Redden
P. leiogyne (R. S. Cowan) Redden
P. macrostachya (Benth.) Redden
P. paraensis (Ducke) Redden
P. princeps (M. R. Schomb. ex Benth.) Redden
P. speciosa (Ducke) Redden
P. × grahamiae (R. S. Cowan) Redden.
Based on a total evidence phylogeny, the two
varieties of Paloue coccinea are no longer
recognized, and a lectotype has been designated for
Paloue guianensis Aubl. The species of Paloue are
small to large woody trees that are distributed in
northern South America; most are endemics in the
Guiana Shield.
