A revision of the genus Gueldenstaedtia (Fabaceae)

摘要

This paper provides a taxonomic revision of Gueldenstaedtia (Fabaceae). Four species and one form are recognized. The revision is based on herbarium material and includes pollen and seed morphological observations. I treat the genus as distinct from the closely related Tibetia based on pollen and seed morphology, other morphological characters and chromosome data. A number of names in Gueldenstaedtia are reduced to synonyms. A key to all species of the genus is provided. For each taxon, its description, ecology, phenology, notes and an illustration and distribution map are also provided. [References: 25]
