BOUFFORD” Harvard University Herbaria 22 Divinity Avenue Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138-2020 'rangelo@oeb.harvard.edu *david_boufford@harvard.edu ABSTRACT Dot maps are provided to depict the distribution at the county level of the taxa of Magnoliophyta: Fabaceae growing outside of cultivation in the six New England states of the northeastern United States. 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. Hybrids are also included, but forms and other ranks below the level of variety are not. The dots are based on voucher specimens primarily 4 in New England ne pans (of colleges, universities, botanical gardens, and public museums) tions outside of cultivated habitats. This eleventh installment includes the family Fabaceae (Magnoliophyta). Of the 172 taxa treated, 106 are not native to the region. Future accounts will treat the distribution of additional non- monocot angiosperms. The habitat data are distillations from a variety of sources augmented by our own field observations. An attempt was made to indicate habitat information as it applies to a particular taxon in New England rather than to the entire range of the taxon. Habitat information is not provided for hybrid taxa. It is our hope that these articles will stimulate additional field work to supplement the distributions portrayed in the maps. The New England Botanical Club herbarium has proven to be the most important resource for this project. We are eager to receive information on voucher specimens in public herbaria documenting range extensions and filling county gaps in distributions. Similarly, because the atlas of the New England flora will be continuously updated as new information becomes available, we are eager to receive notification of published corrections of cytological information and new, d I counts for taxa in the New England flora. Angelo and Boufford: Atlas of New England flora 2 MATERIALS AND METHODS Materials and methods are as outlined in Angelo and Boufford (1996) and in a web version (Angelo & Boufford 2011c) and are not repeated here. TAXONOMY AND FORMAT The taxonomy and nomenclature adopted for this work follow that of draft treatments for the Flora of North America project, except that families, genera, and species are arranged alphabetically. The families and their circumscription do not necessarily reflect current views on relationships or composition. The Angiosperm Phylogeny Website (Stevens 2001 onwards) should be consulted for a continuously updated treatment of families and their inclusive genera. Named and unnamed hybrid taxa are placed alphabetically au ‘the end of the genus in which they occur. Unnamed hybrids combine the names of the tically by epithet. Taxa that are not native to New England are indicated by uppercase text. Unpublished names are not used, even if publication is pending. Chromosome numbers are taken primarily from draft treatments for the Flora of North America project and from Goldblatt and Johnson (1979-). Synonymy is provided primarily with respect to names accepted in standard manuals covering New England published from 1950 onward, including Fernald (1950), Gleason and Cronquist (1991), and Seymour (1982) and on herbarium labels in New England herbaria. Synonyms have not been provided where the distribution for the synonymized name does not include New England. The following list (which includes excluded taxa) will aid readers in finding familiar names that have been transferred to other taxa: Cassia (in part) a Chamachrista Cassia (in part) =o Senna Coronilla (in part) => Securigera Desmodium (in part) => Hylodesmum Lespedeza (in part) => Kummerowia Lotus (in part) => Acmispon Trigoneila (in part) => Medicago The following species have been reported from our area but are excluded for the reasons noted: CYTISUS x PRAECOX Bean (C.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We thank the curators and directors of the herbaria of the New England Botanical Club, the Harvard University Herbaria, the University of Massachusetts, and the University of Vermont for Angelo and Boufford: Atlas of New England flora 15 allowing access to their collections. For the University of Maine and University of Connecticut herbaria we used their exceptional online databases of specimens. We are grateful also to Karen Searcy for facilitating access to the herbarium and to the notebooks of Harry E. Ahles at the University of Massachusetts (Amherst) and for kindly answering a request for information after our visit. James Hinds generously checked information on voucher specimens at the University of Maine (Orono). The following persons also checked certain records for us at their respective institutions: Janet Sullivan, Robert Capers, Patrick Sweeney, and Craig D. Layne. John T. Kartesz and Misako Nishino generously provided the latest draft version of the Floristic Synthesis of North America, which was consulted for reports of occurrence and the sources of such reports. Erika Sonder kindly assisted with reviewing specimens at the Harvard University Herbaria and the University of Vermont. We thank Kanchi Gandhi for nomenclatural advice.
