Abstract
A taxonomic revision of Flemingia subg. Rhynchosioides based on morphology and molecular information (matK and ITS) is presented. The subgenus comprises six herbaceous taxa (F. gracilis, F. mukerjeeana, F. nilgheriensis, F. rollae,
F. tuberosa and F. vestita). All species except F. vestita are endemic to India. Morphological evidence and molecular phylogeny revealed that the subgenus is monophyletic. Nevertheless, the systematic position of F. tuberosa remains unclear on account of its unique
ecology and inflorescence. A new species, F. mukerjeeana, is described and four binomials, namely F. gracilis, F. nilgheriensis, F. tuberosa and F. vestita have been lectotypified. Furthermore, all species have been described, illustrated and their ecology
discussed. A taxonomic key including the recently described species from Thailand, F. sirindhorniae, is also provided for easy identification.
期刊介绍：
An international electronic-only journal on the biodiversity, evolution and biogeography of plants (systematics,
floristics, phylogeny, morphology, anatomy). For floristic studies, the focus is on tropical Africa south of the
Sahara; tropical Southeast Asia with a strong emphasis on Malesia; South America with emphasis on the
Guianas. The language is English.
