(Fabaceae), is described and illustrated. It belongs to the traditionally recognized Hedysarum L. section Multicaulia (Boiss.) B.Fedtsch., which extends over the West Alborz Mountains in northern Iran. This species is characterized by greenish stems and corolla persisting in fruiting stage and has mostly 1–2-jointed, unarmed, biconvex pods with short hairs becoming bald early, and flattened margins. Phylogenetic analyses of molecular data clearly unite this species with H. formosum Fisch. & C.A.Mey. ex Basin. The new species is characterized by 4 singleton nucleotide substitutions, suggesting it as a distinct taxon. Phylogenetic inferences are consistent with the interpretations of morphological features. Moreover, the lack of nucleotide variation among individual samples of H. formosum indicated that the species has not been diversified at the population level and reinforced our findings. Keywords: Alborz Mountains, Hedysarum, phylogeny, section Multicaulia, taxonomy 1. Introduction (Boissier, 1872; Rechinger, 1952; Chrtková-Žertová, 1968; The genus Hedysarum L., encompassing ca. 180 species, is Hedge, 1970; Fedtschenko, 1972; Townsend, 1974, 1984; the largest genus of the tribe Hedysareae, Fabaceae (Lock, Ranjbar et al., 2007; Xu and Choi, 2010) and compared 2005; Xu and Choi, 2010; Amirahmadi et al., 2014). In with the herbarium specimens deposited in TARI, W, and the last 3 decades new findings, mostly new species from LE. It was concluded that the specimens belonging to H. Iran, have increased the species number to 38 (Rechinger, subsect. Multicaulia ought to be considered an undescribed 1952, 1984; Ranjbar et al., 2006, 2007, 2008; Ranjbar, 2010; species with affinity to H. formosum.

The main stems arise from Contributed by: Upper Colorado Environmental a woody crown and may grow 1 to 2 feet tall. The Plant Center leaves are compound (two or more leaflets) and hairless. Flowers can be pink, purple, or white arranged in a loose raceme. Seeds develop in a long constricted pod, with several sections. Each section contains one brown kidney-shaped seed. Adaptation: Utah sweetvetch can grow on clayey or sandy soils, however, is more adaptable to well- drained loamy soils. It is most often found on moderately saline or alkaline soils, but will grow on moderately acidic to neutral soils. Utah sweetvetch is usually found at elevations between 4000 to 8000 feet, in precipitations zones receiving 10 to 18 inches of moisture annually. It grows better with 15 inches or more of precipitation and minimum competition. Establishment Planting should be done in early spring or late fall. Drill seed at about ¼ to ½ inch deep. Inoculation with the proper rhizobium will enhance nitrogen fixation. Germination occurs within 6 to 30 days.

Sainfoin has conelike Contributed by: USDA NRCS Pullman Plant clusters fragrant, pinkish- red flowers on the end of Materials Center long stalks. Seed pods are flat and contain a single dark olive green, brown, or black seed, 4-6 mm. There are 18,000 seeds/pound. Adaptation and Distribution Sainfoin is adapted to areas of the inland Pacific Northwest that receive at least 12 inches of annual precipitation. It is also adapted to much of the Northern Rocky Mountains, Northern Great Plains, and Northern Great Basin. Sainfoin was introduced to North America from Eurasia. Sainfoin grows well on a variety of well-drained soils and performs better than alfalfa on cold soils. For a current distribution map, please consult the Plant Profile page for this species on the PLANTS Website. Establishment Sainfoin seed is quite large but must not be seeded deeper than ¾ inch. The seed takes up moisture rapidly and germinates quickly. Seed must be inoculated with the appropriate rhizobium and planted into a firm, well-packed seedbed.

A PHYLOGENY OF LEGUMES (LEGUMINOSAE) BASED ON ANALYSIS OF THE PLASTID MATK GENE RESOLVES MANY WELL-SUPPORTED SUBCLADES WITHIN THE FAMILY1 MARTIN F. W OJCIECHOWSKI,2,5 MATT LAVIN,3 AND MICHAEL J.

These results are generally consistent with those derived from other plastid sequence data (rbcL and trnL), but show greater resolution and clade support overall. In particular, the monophyly of subfamily Papilionoideae and at least seven major subclades are well-supported by bootstrap and Bayesian credibility values. These subclades are informally recognized as the Cladrastis clade, genistoid sensu lato, dalbergioid sensu lato, mirbelioid, millettioid, and robinioid clades, and the inverted-repeat-lacking clade (IRLC). The genistoid clade is expanded to include genera such as Poecilanthe, Cyclolobium, Bowdichia, and Diplotropis and thus contains the vast majority of papilionoids known to produce quinolizidine alkaloids. The dalbergioid clade is expanded to include the tribe Amorpheae. The mirbelioids include the tribes Bossiaeeae and Mirbelieae, with Hypocalypteae as its sister group. The millettioids comprise two major subclades that roughly correspond to the tribes Millettieae and Phaseoleae and represent the only major papilionoid clade marked by a macromorphological apomorphy, pseu- doracemose in¯orescences.

    MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY OF THE TRIBE HEDYSAREAE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO ONOBRYCHIS (FABACEAE) AS INFERRED FROM nrDNA ITS SEQUENCES S. Ahangarian, Sh. Kazempour Osaloo & A. A. Maassoumi Ahangarian, S., Kazempour Osaloo, Sh. & Maassoumi, A. A. 2007 12 31:. Molecular phylogeny of the tribe Hedysareae with special reference to Onobrychis (Fabaceae) as inferred from nrDNA ITS sequences. -Iran. J. Bot. 13 (2): 64-74. Tehran. A total of 53 species (54 sequence accessions) representing 28 species of the tribe Hedysareae, 5 species of Vicioid clade and 19 species of Galegeae including the two Glycyrrhiza species as outgroups was included in a phylogenetic analysis using nrDNA ITS sequences with maximum parsimony method. The analysis, based on successive reweighting by rescaled consistency index, revealed that Vicioid clade is the first branch followed by Chesneya-Caragana clade and Astragalean clade as successive sisters to Hedysaroid clade. The genus Alhagi is well allied, as the basal most taxon, with the remainder of Hedysaroid clade. Ebenus and Taverniera are each monophyletic and weakly allied taxa. Hedysarum is not monophyletic, its species are dispersed across Hedysaroid clade. Sulla a segregate of Hedysarum, forms a well supported monophyletic group with the inclusion of H. humile. The enigmatic genus Eversmannia is allied with Onobrychis clade. Onobrychis itself is not monophyletic due to inclusion of the two Hedysarum species, and Onobrychis subgenus Onobrychis is not monophyletic as well, whereas Onobrychis subgenus Sisyrosema forms a strongly supported clade. In contrast to Onobrychis section Heliobrychis, sections Dendrobrychis and Onobrychis appear not to be each monophyletic. Hedysareae is circumscribed herein to include only Alhagi, Ebenus, Eversmannia, Hedysarum, Onobrychis, Sulla, Taverniera, Coretrodendron and Sartoria.

(Fabaceae: Hedysareae) is still incomplete. The species from the section Hedysarum are valuable forage and medicinal resources. For eight Hedysarum species, we constructed the integrated schematic map of their distribution within Eurasia based on currently available scattered data. For the first time, we performed cytoge- nomic characterization of twenty accessions covering eight species for evaluating genomic diversity and relationships within the section Hedysarum. Based on the intra- and interspecific variability of chromosomes bearing 45S and 5S rDNA clusters, four main karyotype groups were detected in the studied accessions: (1) H. arcticum, H. austrosibiricum, H. flavescens, H. hedysaroides, and H. theinum (one chromosome pair with 45S rDNA and one pair bearing 5S rDNA); (2) H. alpinum and one accession of H. hedysaroides (one chromosome pair with 45S rDNA and two pairs bearing 5S rDNA); Citation: Yurkevich, O.Y.; Samatadze, (3) H.

Several species of Hedysarum have been considered for their nutritional, pharmaceutical, and biological properties, and different applications have been reported, both for human consumption and animal Citation: Tava, A.; Biazzi, E.; Ronga, nutrition.
