A nomenclátor of legume (Fabaceae) genera. U.S. Department of Agriculture Technical Bulletin No. 1680, 224 pp. The 2,805 legume generic names published from 1753 to 1982 are annotated according to the taxonomic and phylogenetic frame- works established in "Advances in Legume Systematics," compiled in 1981 by R. M. Polhill and P. H. Raven as the second volume of the Proceedings of the International Legume Conference at Kew, England. Legume generic names, including fossils, are presented in seven lists and suprageneric names in the eighth list. Generic annotations include author, subtribe, tribe, subfamily, phylogenetic number, number of species in the genus, natural distribution by geographic region, original publication citation, and synonyms.

Gunnl/ Nomenclature problems related to legume generic names are on a par with taxonomic and pbylogenetic problems. Following tbe 1978 International Legume Conference at Kew, England, tbe taxonomic and pbylogenetic frameworks were revised (Polbill and Raven, 1981).2^/ Tbese revisions are significant improvements over publications by Bentbam and Hooker (1867), Taubert (1891- 94 and including supplements by H. Harms), and Hutcbinson (1964). Tbe autbors wbo contributed to tbe Polbill and Raven compendium accepted and classified 617 generic names (Corby, pers. commun., 1982) and referred to 276 synonyms. Tbis bulletin includes tbeir recognized generic names as well as relating 2,096 synonyms to tbeir accepted generic names. Tbese synonyms were effectively but not necessarily validly publisbed. At least 2,805 legume generic names bave been publisbed since 1753 up to 1982. I bave used tbe recent literature, as well as advice from specialists, many of wbom attended tbe 1978 Conference, in relating synonyms to accepted generic names. No new scientific names are publisbed bere. _l/Botanist, Plant Exploration and Taxonomy Laboratory, Beltsville Agricultural Researcb Center, Beltsville, Md. 20705. 2^/Tbe year in parentbeses after tbe autbors* names refers to Literature Cited, p. 224. PROCEDURES This bulletin presents seven lists of legume generic and suprageneric names published from 1753 to 1982. In the first list, annotations for accepted generic names consist of author(s), subtribe when designated, tribe, sub- family letter, notation if conserved generic name (Stafleu et al., 1978), note if needed, source, and subfamily letter combined with the phylogenetic number from Polhill and Raven (1981). Generic names in the faboid tribe Tephrosieae were not phylogenetically numbered, but they are arranged alphabetically. A phylogenetic number in parentheses means that Polhill and Raven accepted the generic concept but did not use the conserved or correct spelling of the generic name. The conserved or correct spelling is used in this bulletin. Additional data concerning accepted generic names may be found in Polhill and Raven (1981). Annotations for synonyms in the first list consist of author(s), notation if conserved generic name, conversion to accepted generic name with author(s), subtribe when designated, tribe, subfamily letter, source of synonjnm, and a *P&R* if listed as a synonym in Polhill and Raven. A query mark preceding a generic name indicates a doubtful conversion, and the letter X indicates the genus is a hybrid. In the second list, annotations consist of subtribe and tribe, phylogenetic number, number of species in the genus, natural distribution (where endemic or native), and on a separate line and in parentheses the original publication citation, primarily from Farr et al. (1979) and secondarily from the Kewensis Index (1895-1974). The number of species and the natural distri- bution primarily are based on the publication by Polhill and Raven (1981), and a few numbers and distributions in the subfamily Mimosoideae are from Gunn (1983). Synonyms with authors are listed under each accepted genus name. In the third, fourth, and fifth lists, legume generic names accepted by Polhill and Raven (1981) are given, respectively, by geographic region, by number of species in the genus, and by phylogenetic number. In the sixth list, legume generic names published between 1753 and 1982 are given by author's name. These names were checked using Stafleu and Cowan (1976, v. 1-4). The part of the author's name in parentheses is used to aid in identifying the author in Stafleu and Cowan, but traditionally it is not used in floras and monographs. In the seventh list, fossil legume generic names are given, and the eighth list includes suprageneric names accepted by Polhill and Raven (1981). simple codes are used for three entries—subfamily, source, and natural distribution. The subfamiily code is C = Caesalpini- oideae, F = Faboideae, and M = Mimosoideae« The source code and the natural distribution or geographical three-letter code are listed below. Sources were used in this order: (I) Generic names accepted by Polhill and Raven (1981), though there are occasional spelling deviations and a few updates and (2) synonyms recorded in the following order: Farr et al. (1979), Airy Shaw (1966), and Hutchinson (1964). If a generic name was found in Farr et al., no other source was cited. Those not found in Farr et al. were recorded from Airy Shaw, and those not found in Airy Shaw were recorded from Hutchinson. All generic names from these three sources were recorded. Sources of generic names proposed since 1978 or omitted from these three sources were the original publications.
