From the Editor

Barbara Mackinder

The Bean Bag is designed to promote communication among research scientists concerned with legume systematics.
To achieve this goal The Bean Bag is issued in November of each year and features six columns: From the Editors, News
(meetings, major events, announcements, etc.), Latin American Legume Report, Nodulation and Nitrogen Fixation (new
nodulation records), Gleanings, and Recent Legume Literature. Data in the Gleanings column are derived from questionnaire
sheets which Readers complete and return. If you have news about legume systematics, send it to me for this column. The
Recent Legume Literature column contains published research papers of specific interest to Bean Bag Readers and is derived
from Readers contributions in conjunction with references from The Kew Record (Kew’s current awareness list of taxonomic
literature). Recent is defined as up to 18 months old. Specific interest to Bean Bag Readers is defined as research papers of
interest to a worldwide group of legume systematic botanists. We encourage Bean Bag Readers to send us notices,
observations, etc.

The Bean Bag and the Directory can now be delivered to Readers via e-mail. If you wish to have your copies e-
mailed to you, please send the following standard e-mail message
To: beanbag-request@rbgkew.org.uk - Subscribe BeanBag <my e-mail address>.

Electronic copies of the current and past Bean Bags and the Directories can be obtained from the World Wide Web
server of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, United Kingdom From June, 1995, The Bean Bag is available on the World Wide

Web at http://WWW.rbgkew.org.uk:80/herbarium/Iegumes.html

Legume Symposia at the XIV International Botanical Congress

The XIV International Botanical Congress is to be held on 1-7 August 1999 at the Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis,
Missouri, U.S.A. The International Botanical Congress (IBC) is a major meeting to discuss new developments and research in
the plant sciences.

Two proposals for Leguminosae symposia have been submitted.

Phylogeny of Leguminosae I: Mimosoideae and Papilionoideae.

Organisers: Jeff J. Doyle and M. D. Crisp

Considerable advances have been made recently in establishing phylogenetic hypotheses for the entire Leguminosae and for
several of its consituent groups (subfamilies and tribes). This symposium focuses on the two subfamilies that are supported as
monophyletic by both molecular and non-molecular data. The symposium is built around "working groups" composed of
individuals who have for the most part separately produced data of diverse types relevant to understanding relationships
involving relatively large groupings of genera. Groups emphasized include Mimosoideae , basal Papilionoideae , and the
products of several apparent radiations among Papilionoideae. The emerging changes in our understanding of relationships
bears not only on the taxonomy of the family, but are of fundamental importance in elucidating such issues as floral and
vegetative development and the origin and evolution of nodulation. This symposium is to be linked to, “Phylogeny of
Leguminosae II”, organised by Anne Bruneau and Patrick Herendeen.

Phylogeny of the Leguminosae II Relationships in Caesalpinioideae, evidence from multiple character
sources.

Organisers: Patrick Herendeen and Anne Bruneau

Phylogenetic relationships in subfamily Caesalpinioideae of Leguminosae. Despite the taxonomic importance of this
subfamily, relationships within Caesalpinioideae remain among the most poorly understood in the Leguminosae. This
symposium brings together researchers who have been studying different aspects of the biology of this group as a means of
examining phylogenetic relationships in the subfamily. The symposium provides a synthesis of recent studies examining
pollen morphology, morphological and anatomical features, floral development, pollination biology and molecular characters.
A general and historical overview discussing problems with generic delimations and regionalism introduces the symposium.
The final talk provides an overview of what phylogenetic studies in this and other members of Leguminosae can tell us about
the historical biogeography of the family as a whole. This symposium is to be linked to, “Phylogeny of the Leguminosae I”
organised by Jeff J. Doyle and Michael D. Crisp.

Roger Polhill

Roger Polhill retires from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew on 20th November 1997. He sends his greetings to everyone who
has worked with him over the last thirty five years on all sorts of interesting and challenging enterprises. It has always been
one of his greatest pleasures that the legume community has worked together so effectively and harmoniously and hehopes it
may long continue to do so.

Director Emeritus, Royal Ontario Museum, Canada

John McNeill, Director of the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), Toronto since 1991, ended his directorship on 1 February
1997, taking the title Director Emeritus and returning to botanical research activity. Professor McNeill moved to ROM as
Associate Director in charge of Collections and Research in 1989, having previously been Regius Keeper (Director) of the
Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh. He became Acting Director of the ROM 10 months later and was confirmed as Director in
March 1991 ; his initial five-year term was extended last year. As Director Emeritus, McNeill will have an initial period of
administrative leave, but, although he will be visiting and working at a number of institutes for short periods over the next
year or so, he will continue to be based at the Royal Ontario Museum, and except, perhaps, for a few months in late 1997,
does not expect to be away from Toronto for more than a few weeks at a time.

His initial emphasis will be to deal with the backlog of work that has accumulated on existing projects, most notably the Flora
of North America, for which he is an editor and author for parts of an imminent volume, as well as Nomenclatural Advisor to
the project. He will also continue his current activities in, for example, bionomenclature and as new Chairman of the 10P1
project.

Apart from the change of title, his postal and e-mail addresses are unchanged, although his telephone and fax numbers will
change. Effective 1 February 1997, both are 416-586-5744.

Suprageneric names in Fabaceae Published Prior to 1870

James L. Reveal

Norton-Brown Herbarium, H.J. Patterson Hall,
University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742-581 5, U.S.A.

Abstract

Suprageneric names of Fabaceae found to date as part of the Indices Nominum Supragenericorum Plantarum Vascularium
project, and published from 1753 through 1869 as part of a survey of the botanical literature for such names, are listed with
full bibliographic citation. No taxonomic judgement about the significance (either taxonomically or nomenclaturally) of any
name is presented, leaving that to those who use such names in their research. However, it is noted that three names used by
Pohill (1994) are later synonyms ( Daleeae precedes that of Amorpheae, Astragaleae has priority over Galegeae, and Cytiseae
replaces Genisteae) and Fabeae must be used instead ofVicieae as required by the International Code of Botanical
Nomenclature (Art. 1 9).

Introduction

Scientific names above the rank of genus, with the except of family names, are generally poorly known and unevaluated as to
their validity or place of publication. An ongoing effort, the Indices Nominum Supragenericorum Plantarum Vascularium
project, under the sponsorship of the International Association for Plant Taxonomy and the Norton-Brown Herbarium
(MARY) at the University of Maryland, is attempting to prepare a database of all validly published suprageneric names based
on a generic name. The results to date are available online on the world wide web at
http://matrix.nal, usda.gov:8080/star/supragenericname.htm!

Publication by Pohill ( 1 994) of a synopsis of legume genera has allowed me to review suprageneric names used in his
phylogenetic scheme, comparing his nomenclature with that found in my search for names above the rank of genus. To date 1
have concentrated upon names published prior to 1 870, but with so much literature, it is unlikely that 1 have found all validly
published names or their first place of publication. Production of the following listing hopefully will result in corrections and
additions that can be sent to me via email (jrl9@umail.umd.edu) or fax (301/314-9082). I would appreciate receiving copies
of the appropriate pages in the mail at the above address.

Only one major publication appears to have gone unnoticed by those interested in the pea family, the rare 1820 book published
by Berchtold and Presl. These authors proposed a large number of new families which were

subsequently published (and now listed in the International ICBN of Botanical Nomenclature with later authorships) and a
significant number of names at the rank of tribe. As a result, their use of Daleeae precedes that of Amorpheae, Astragaleae
has priority over Galegeae, and Cytiseae replaces Genisteae. I have noted one incorrect name in the Pohill (1994) listing,
namely his use of Vicieae rather than Fabeae as required by the ICBN (Art. 19.4). Inasmuch as use of the descriptive names
Leguminosae and Papilionoideae , permitted by the ICBN (Art. 19) with and typified by the genus Faba, Fabeae must be used
rather than Vicieae.

A reminder: To be validly published, a name must have been proposed with a Latin terminations (those in another language
are not validly published. Art. 1 8.4), must be accompanied by a description or diagnosis and accepted by their author (Art.

32), and be established at an acceptable rank (Art. 4). Rankless names may be validly published but have no role in terms of
priority. Also, names proposed with a misplaced rank (e.g., proposed at the rank of section above the rank of genus) are not
validly published (Art. 33.5). These are just some of the factors that must be considered when evaluating suprageneric names.

Ed. Note:

This nomenclatural paper by James Reveal raises two important issues concerning tribal names. In the case of Daleeae, Astragaleae and Cytiseae having

priority over Amorpheae, Galegeae and Genisteae respectively there are two options available to the Legume Research Community as the ICBN currently
stands;

1) Accept the name changes

2) Reject the earlier names under Art. 56.1. “Any name that would cause a disadvantageous nomenclatural change (Art 14.1) may be proposed for rejection ”.

The name once rejected would be permanently unavailable for use. The implications of rejecting, for example Astragaleae, are of course serious. It is
conceivable particularly with respect to Astragalus (often cited as the largest angiosperm genus), that future changes in the delimitation of higher legume
taxa might result in the need for the name Astragaleae.

3) Art 14.1 of the ICBN states, “In order to avoid disadvantageous changes in the nomenclature of the families, genera and species entailed by the strict

application of the rules” “this Code provides, in App. II and III, lists of names that are conserved ( nomina conservanda) and must be retained as

useful exceptions.” In effect if these tribal names were at the rank of Family, Genus or Species then an option to conserve the later names would be
available. As this problem is one that is likely to reoccur in other families., it may require a change to the ICBN.

The mechanism to conserve these names could be put in place by a (successful) proposal to change the wording of Art 14. 1 Reveal has in press (May Taxon)
such a proposal to allow conservation of names of subdivisions of families.

The rules affecting the use of Vicieae rather than Fabeae are clear. Faba is the type genus of the Family. As Reveal states, to comply with Art. 19.4 “The
name of any subdivision of a family that includes the type of the adopted, legitimate name of the family to which it is assigned is to be based on the generic
name equivalent to that type”. Faba however, is synonymous with Vicia . Hence the name Vicieae cannot be validly published as it includes the type of the
family. Under the ICBN Fabeae must be used rather than Vicieae .

The views of the Legume Research Community on these two issues are actively sought, particuarly if there are strong feelings about wishing to conserve the
names Amorpheae, Galegeae and Genisteae over Daleeae, Astragaleae and Cytiseae respectively. Please send your comments to the Bean Bag Editor,

GRAHAM is a member of a research group which recently received funding from the Minnesota Department of

concentrating on the collection, characterization and nitrogen fixation of rhizobia from Dalea, Chamaechrista,
Lespedeza, Desmodium and Astragalus, and in order to get these have permission for limited sampling within 6 prairie
nature areas in Minnesota. They have already collected some 50-75 rhizobia from each of the above hosts and have-host
plant tested the majority of them. They have potentially inoculant-quality strains for most of the above legumes. It is also
their plan to study the ecology of the rhizobia in the native prairie areas and to attempt to relate the different fast-
growing rhizobia that occur in these environments. Because of their similarity to Dalea rhizobia, GRAHAM is very
interested in obtaining rhizobial isolates from Europe for Coronilla and Onobrychis.

MAQUET is part of a research team working on two new legume projects. Firstly the team is working on the development of
improved varieties of pigeon pea for the semi-arid areas of East Africa, the main objectives of this work include the
development of improved varieties of Cajanus cajan for multiple cropping systems and the introduction of genetic
resistance to pest and diseases in common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris) varieties using interspecific hybridization. The
other project focuses on improvement of the bean production in the Andean region of Peru. The main objective is to
ensure food security, a stable income and improved living conditions for small-scale farmers in the northern highland
areas of Peru.

MURPHY is working on a molecular phylogeny of Acacia subgenus Phyllodineae using representative species from all
sections for his PhD. dissertation. He needs material (with the possibility of exchange) of any taxa in subgenus
Phyllodineae, but especially seeks taxa from sections Pulchellae and Lycopodiifoliae

Omonhinmin, A.C., see IDU.

Osuji, Hanson and MAASS are working on the phyto-chemical description of Acacia angustissima genotypes and are looking
for information regarding biochemical properties and taxonomy of A. angustissima, A. boliviano and A. villosa. Hanson
and MAASS need seeds of Acacia boliviano and A. villosa (prior to shipping, requesting an Ethiopian import permit is
essential) and offer seeds of a large number of tropical highland and lowland legumes with forage potential in research
quantities to bona fide users.

PALACIOS, R.A., see Hoc.

PENNINGTON, R.T. is undertaking a molecular study of generic relationships in tribes Dalbergieae and Sophoreae. He

needs silica gel-dried material of Etaballia and Fissicalyx. He wants any observations of aril colour (photos if possible)
in Dussia to aid in a monographic study of genus. Also, any observations of dispersal of Dussia fruits are welcomed He
offers in exchange limited numbers of Neotropical legume duplicates .

PIERGIOVANNI leads work on a project to evaluate and characterise germplasm of 232 accessions from 15 countries of Lens
cidinaris Medik. This work includes agronomic trials and screening of seed storage proteins. She needs lentil
landraces from east countries of Mediterranean basin (i.e. Turkey, Syria, etc.) as well as Asia (i.e. India) and offers in
exchange, collections of pulse species of interest from the Mediterranean area.

PIGNONE is part of a group working on the genetic resources of underutilized and neglected legumes of potential
importance to Mediterranean agriculture and the environment.

PRADO is studying the reproductive biology of a woody community of the Argentine Chaco. This includes several

Leguminosae species. He needs distribution patterns of woody legumes in South America especially those restricted to
seasonally dry forests (see Prado and Gibbs, Ann. Miss. Bot. Gard. 80:902-927,1993). He offers in exchange reprints of
papers on Chaco Legumes.

RIDDER-NUMAN with DE K.ORT (New Reader) have a new project to put the Leguminosae of Flora Malesiana on CD-rom.
They will be working on this for two and a half years at the Rijksherbarium, Leiden. They will use the two volumes of
Flora Malesiana on the Mimosoideae and on the Caesalpinioideae, and the coming one on the Papilionoideae, as a basis.
They will cooperate with Frits Adema, Papilionoideae coordinator for Flora Malesiana. On the CD-rom there will be
descriptions of all species, an interactive key to at least the genera, and perhaps to the species, maps and illustrations for
as many species as possible. They are looking for updated information on the Leguminosae for the region, and also for
nice slides and other pictures of species occurring in the region.

SCHRIRE and Barker (Rhodes University, South Africa) are working on a morphological-molecular study of the Indigofereae
and would greatly appreciate any silica gel-dried leaf samples of vouchered collections of any species.

SOKOLOFF is working on the morphology and taxonomy of tribe Loteae and has completed a morphological study of

Cytisopsis pseudocytisus (Boiss.) Fertig. He needs Herbarium specimens, fruits and seeds of Papilionaceae-Loteae and
Coronilleae and offers in exchange reprints of papers on the morphology and taxonomy of Loteae and Coronilleae. He
also offers herbarium specimens of various plant species from European Russia and reprints of publications.

SPRENT will be collating all available information on nodulation over the next two to three years. This information will be
used to prepare a text incorporating the latest legume and rhizobial taxonomy. A later issue will be produced for the
many genera for which information is not yet available. Any information on this subject is very welcome.

TURNER continues his work on the legumes of Texas

VANDERBORGHT is maintaining a large collection of wild Phaseolus and Vigna species. He needs and offers material of
the same with passoport data. The list of taxa for which small seed samples can be obtained is available on the World
Wide Web at http://wvvw.BR.ggov.be/science/LV.

VINCENT is an expert on New World Trifolium. He is finishing up a revision of Trifolium section Involucrarium, as well as
working up treatments of the genus for Chile, Mexico, and several North American states. Any herbarium specimens of
Trifolium (worldwide) are be welcome, as are seeds. He is very happy to receive any and all gifts for determination. If
anyone wants materials of a particular North American taxon, please contact him, and he will be glad to attempt to
collect it.
