Eight species are recognized in China. A key to the species, bibliography of the species, and synonyms are provided. Lespedeza dunnii Schindl. and L. fordii Schindl. are newly accommodated in the section Heteroloespedeza. Lespedeza thunbergii is divided into newly circumscribed subsp. thunbergii, subsp. formosa (Vogel) H. Ohashi and subsp. elliptica (Benth. ex Maxim.) H. Ohashi (comb. nov.). Lespedeza formosa (Vog.) Koehne, L. patens Nakai, L. pubescens Hayata, L. viatorum Champ. ex Benth., and L. wilfordii Ricker in Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae (FRPS) vol. 41 (1995) are regarded as synonyms with L. thunbergii (DC.) Nakai. Of the unknown species in FRPS L. hupehensis Ricker and L. merrillii Ricker are considered as synonyms of L. davidii and L. veitchii Ricker as a synonym of L. bicolor. Key words: China, classification, Desmodieae, Leguminosae, Lespedeza, Macrolespedeza, taxonomy. This paper is intended as a complement (Ohashi et al. 2009a). to the account of subgenus Macrolespedeza The present circumscription of the genus of the genus Lespedeza for the Flora of Lespedeza was proposed by Schindler (1913) China treatment (Flora of China vol. 10. who modified the subgenus Lespedeza in the Fabaceae.

The maps treat 172 taxa (species, subspecies, varieties, and hybrids, but not forms) based primarily on specimens in the major herbaria of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, with most data derived from the holdings of the New England Botanical Club Herbarium (NEBC). Brief synonymy (to account for names used in standard manuals and floras for the area and on herbarium specimens), habitat, chromosome information, and common names are also provided. KEY WORDS: flora, New England, atlas, distribution, Fabaceae This article is the eleventh in a series (Angelo & Boufford 1996, 1998, 2000, 2007, 2010, 2011a, 2011b, 2012a, 2012b, 2012c) that presents the distributions of the vascular flora of New England in the form of dot distribution maps at the county level (Figure 1). Seven more articles are planned. The atlas is posted on the internet at http://neatlas.org, where it will be updated as new information becomes available. This project encompasses all vascular plants (lycophytes, pteridophytes and spermatophytes) at the rank of species, subspecies, and variety growing independent of cultivation in the six New England states.

  • Floristic Quality Assessment Report
    FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT IN INDIANA: THE CONCEPT, USE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF COEFFICIENTS OF CONSERVATISM Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) the State tree of Indiana June 2004 Final Report for ARN A305-4-53 EPA Wetland Program Development Grant CD975586-01 Prepared by: Paul E. Rothrock, Ph.D. Taylor University Upland, IN 46989-1001 Introduction Since the early nineteenth century the Indiana landscape has undergone a massive transformation (Jackson 1997). In the pre-settlement period, Indiana was an almost unbroken blanket of forests, prairies, and wetlands. Much of the land was cleared, plowed, or drained for lumber, the raising of crops, and a range of urban and industrial activities. Indiana’s native biota is now restricted to relatively small and often isolated tracts across the State. This fragmentation and reduction of the State’s biological diversity has challenged Hoosiers to look carefully at how to monitor further changes within our remnant natural communities and how to effectively conserve and even restore many of these valuable places within our State. To meet this monitoring, conservation, and restoration challenge, one needs to develop a variety of appropriate analytical tools. Ideally these techniques should be simple to learn and apply, give consistent results between different observers, and be repeatable. Floristic Assessment, which includes metrics such as the Floristic Quality Index (FQI) and Mean C values, has gained wide acceptance among environmental scientists and decision-makers, land stewards, and restoration ecologists in Indiana’s neighboring states and regions: Illinois (Taft et al. 1997), Michigan (Herman et al. 1996), Missouri (Ladd 1996), and Wisconsin (Bernthal 2003) as well as northern Ohio (Andreas 1993) and southern Ontario (Oldham et al.

  • Desmodium, Hedysarum, Indigofera En Lespedeza
    I) IR. R.H .M.J. LEMMENS DESMODIUM, HEDYSARUM, INDIGOFERA EN LESPEDEZA In Nederland zijn ongeveer tien in de herfst paars bloeiende, struik- of halfstruikvormige vertegen­ woordigers van Desmodium, Hedysarum, Indigofera en Lespedeza van de familie Legurninosae in cultuur. In het algemeen zijn het weinig bekende planten, die in Nederland voornamelij k in botanische tuinen en op Boskoopse kwekerijen zijn te vinden. De soorten die in cultuur zijn, worden vaak onderling verwisseld en er bestaat vrij veel onduidelijk­ heid omtrent nomenclatuur en welke naam bij een bepaalde plant behoort. Een en ander was voor de Vakgroep Plantentaxonomie van de Landbouwhogeschool in Wagenin­ gen aanleiding om onder leiding van Dr. O.O. Wijnands hieraan plantensystematisch onderzoek te laten verrichten. In 1982 werd door mevr. A.M. Kuenen onderzoek verricht aan Lespedeza en in 1983 door de auteur van dit artikel aan Desmodium, Hedysarum en Indigoferá. In dit artikel wordt een overzicht gegeven van de soorten, die in Nederland worden aangetroffen. HERKENNING VAN DE GESLACHTEN Indigofera, Desmodium, Hedysarum en Lespedeza zijn tamelijk nauw verwant, vooral de laatste drie genera. De naam Hedysarum is, samen met Indigofera de oudste en al in 1753 door Linnaeus gepubliceerd. Echter Linnaeus rekende, evenals een aantal auteurs van de 18e en 19e eeuw, tot Hedysarum soorten, die later zijn ondergebracht bij Desmodiurn of Lespedeza. Zo heet de door Linnaeus beschreven Hedysarum canadense tegenwoordig Desmodiurn canadense (L.) DC. Ook zijn er soorten van Desmodiurn naar Lespedeza overgeplaatst, bijvoorbeeld Desmodiumformo­ sum VoGEL is een synoniem voor Lespedeza bicolor TuRcz . Soms blijft een soort dan heellang onder zo'n oude naam in omloop bij boomkwekers, zoals in het geval van Lespedeza thunbergii waarvan nog lang planten zijn aangeboden onder de naam Desmodiurn pendulijlorum Ou DE­ MANS.
