Introduction
The idea for this work came after a field trip Io Afghanistan in 1965 rhe amount of undcscnbcd
species of Astragalus from there was surprising After three more visits in this country it became clear
that only a more complete study of this genus could clarify the numerous problems in this genus Since
that time I was able to investigate types of most of the Old World species of this genus. After the
excellent work on the North American species by Ruppert Bameby (1964), an equivalent treatment of
the Old World species was missing The genus with c 2350 species in the Old World and c 500
species in the Americas is the largest genus of flowering plants This presented book is the result of 45
years work
The conception of this work is a morphological-plamgcographicatly based systematic Sometimes
hastily made conclusions from molecular-based dendrogramms arc not very helpful, because of the
few careful investigations in this respect in view of the enormous number of sections and species of
the genus and the fact that there arc only partly good determinating keys for exact naming of the
involved species. Therefore we use taxa which can be defined by characters and not only by their
position in a graphic representation
No attempts have been made to elucidate the phylogeny of the different groups within the genus
The sections arc therefore circumscribed in a rather conservative manner using morphological
characters which arc helpful for delimitation and naming I think it much more useful to have a
taxonomic framework within such a huge genus, which allows one to put known and unknown species
in a place within the genus in which they can be found later by other people The reason for this
revision is not to clear phylogeny but to help any people who want to know a name for any Astragalus
specimen Taxonomy, in contrast to phylogeny is in my opinion a science primarily and dearly
connected with practical fields Nevertheless, this revision can help everyone who wants to study
phylogeny, which is surely an interesting task, but without the exact knowledge of species, such a
work is useless, which is documented in some so-called phylogenetic and cladistic papers which were
partly based on erroneously named material
I he possibility of reorganising the mfragcncric groups in the genus and the delimitation according
to the molecular date is restricted al the moment Only special studies could clear the delimitation of
obviously related groups, in which carefully selected species must be involved. Then we can begin to
think about a new and phylogenetic system of the genus, which must nevertheless be practicable; it
means it must be possible to find out the names of sections and species with the aid of morphological
charades, or in other words with the aid of determination keys
In this book keys arc given for the sections and within the sections for all species. The synonymy is
mostly based on close examination of the types or. if these were not available, on the original
descriptions and the treatment of the important floras The place of description and the type material,
including the herbaria, in which the types are housed, are given. The descriptions are as complete as
possible because of the enormous numbers of species, all characters could be useful for separation
1 he citation of specimens always includes the country and in large countries also the provinces or
other important subdivisions. The statements about the general distribution include also countries and
the subdivisions, from which no material could be examined These details are from all credible
sources Those from the former Soviet-Union and Mongolia are trom Andrej Sytin in Yakovlev. Sytin

The numerous generic synonyms, which has been described for American species, arc not included
here, also if they concern sections which arc also known from the Old World.
Annual or perennial herbs, subshrubs or shrubs, glabrous or hairy Hairs basifixed or symmetrically
to asymmetrically bifurcate, white or black, at margins of stipules and bracts often with mtnutc,
subscssilc glands Stipules green or membranous, adnate to the petiole or free from it, often shortly to
high up saginatc-connatc behind the stein Leaves imparipinnate or in several sections panpinnatc or
leaflets rarely verticillate or reduced to one terminal leaflet Leaflets always entire, mostly without
distinct sidc-ncrses. Racemes axillary, sessile or pedunculated, loosely or densely few- to many-
flowered more rarely one-flowered often elongating after anthesis. Flowers subscssilc or with a
distinct pedicel. Bracteoles sometimes present. Calyx campanulate to tubular, often obliquely cut at
the mouth, with 3 equal or unequal teeth mostly hairy on inner side, in some sections inflated in fruit
and enclosing the legume Petals glabrous or more rarely hairy on back side, violet, red, purple,
withish. pale to deep yellow, colour often changing during anthesis or in drying and fading, mostly
Irec und tailing after anthesis, more rarely hasally adnate to the stamen-tube and persistent. Standard
stretched forward or in upper part distinctly curved up. oblong, ovate, obovate, often constricted tn or
below the middle and fiddle-shaped, mostly emarginate at the tip, more rarely rounded, at the base
narrowed in a i distinct claw, more rarely without distinct claw Wings auriculatc at the limb base, as
long or shorter than standard Keel mostly shorter than wings, rarely as long or longer Wings and keel
interlocking with bosses on the keel and matching sockets on the wings. Stamens diadclphous, rarely
monadelphous with uniform anthers. Ovary sessile or stipitale. Style glabrous at least tn upper part,
rarely hairy below or at the capitate stigma. Legumes very variable, sessile or sttpitatc, mostly keeled
centrally and grooved dorsally. unilocular, incompletely or completely bilocular by intruding scplum
Irom the dorsal side, walls membranous, coriaceous or rarely hard and legumes then nut-ltkc, glabrous
or hairy Seeds rectangular-renifonn. very rarely globular, cstruphiolatc
Description of Astragalus
Plants annual or mostly perennial, il perennial then acaulescent or caulescent, herbaceous,
subshrubby to shrubby, sometimes spiny, the smallest only 3-5 cm, the largest inorc then I 5 in high
Rootstock mostly with a long and stout vertical tap-root, undivided or divided, with short to long,
subterranean or aerial branches, sometimes with creeping stolons
Indtiment Hairs mostly present, rarely plants totally glabrous or glabrous at least in vegetative
parts. Hairs while or black rarely yellowish or becoming reddish-brown when dry, oppressed,
ascending or spreading, simple, basifixed or medilixcd to asymmetrically or strongly asymmetrically
bifurcate (Bifurcate hairy Astragali) I be kind of hairs seems to be a very saluuble taxonomically
rules ant character Simple hairs can be slender, lililonn, terete or ribbon-like, rarclv verv short,
globular or bladdery-flattened and widened at the base In bifurcate hairy Astragali. those hairs arc
alsways present in vegetative parts, in the inflorescence and sometimes at the margins of stipules we
find very often also subbasifixed to basifixed hairs. There is a kind of rule, that if we have mixed hairs
par example at the calyx, the white hairs arc often basifixed to asymmetrically bifurcate and i
spreading, the black hairs arc more medifixed, mostly appressed and shorter The kind of indument is
an important set of characters for delimitation of species Al the margins of stipules and bracts arc
often minute sessile or very shortly stipitatc. globular or ovoid glands of unknown structure and
function.
Siems absent or present, slender and solid or stout and up to 10 mm in diameter or more, hollow,
unbranched or branched In subshrubby plants the old part often with greyish bark and covered with
remnants of old stipules and petioles, the parts of the current year of different length
Stipules greenish or mostly whitis-membranous, adnate to the petiole or free from it, often
amplexicaul and behind the stem vaginatc-connatc behind the stem shortly or highly up, sometimes up
to the top. Sometimes connate in front of the petiole distinctly beyond the connection with the petiole
Leaves mostly imparipinnate, more rarely paripinnatc and then petiole and rachis hard and spiny
Leaflets in I to many pairs, rarely only the terminal leaflet dcvcloppcd, persistent or rarely falling
during the vegetation pcriodc, flat, boat-shaped or often strongly folded, hairy on both sides, on upper
side often less densely than on underside or glabrous, rarely on upper side densely covered with
tangled wool-like hairs on underside with straight hairs
Inflorescence consists of one to many axillary racemes These can be one- to many-flowered
Racemes with a short Io long peduncle, more rarely sessile to subscssile Flowers densely congested or
loose to even remote Axis of racemes often slightly to strongly elongating toward fruiting time
Bracts in structure and hairiness often similar to the stipules Bracteoles absent or present, at the
pedicel or laterally at the base of calyx
Calyx tubular or campanulate, rarely turbinate or slightly inflated at the beginning of anthesis, often
obliquely gibbous at the base and obliquely cut at the mouth, 2-30 mm long Calyx tube mostly
unchanged toward fruiting time and ruptured by the legumes, in some sections and species becoming
distinctly ovoid-inflated up to globular in fruit and enclosing the legumes Calyx teeth triangular to
filiform, very short to long, nearly always hairy on inner side.
Petals of different colour, white, yellowish to yellow, pink, lilac, violet, often with darker coloured
keel tip Colour can be changed dunng anthesis, so if yellow, changing to red or purple in drying or
fading, if violet changing to yellow. Unfortunately nothing is known about the chemistry of flower
colours The petals are glabrous or more rarely all or only standard hairy at backside and outside
Mostly standard is the longest, followed by wings and keel In some groups keel is longer than wings
or all petals arc of equal length
Androecium is diadclphous, this means 9 stamens ar united into a tube split atventral side, one is
Ircc, more rarely monadelphous, with all stamens united into a closed lube The tube can be trunctatc
or obliquously cut a the mouth
Legumes ol very different form, very small (often in annual species) to very large General
structure of the legumes see Baum 1948 Most species have a complete or incomplete septum in the
fruit coming from the dorsal side The ventral side is mostly sharply to obtusely kceld. the dorsal side
1 deeply and widely grooved or Hat to runded, rarely both sides arc rounded The fruits arc opening at
ventral and dorsal side or only at dorsal side, in some dcsertic groups (par example sect Chronopus}
they arc opening very late and partly front the tip.
Seeds are rectangular-kidney shaped, compressed laterally, very rarely globular, one to many in one
Iruil.
Seed dispersal. Species with inflated fruiting calyx have a special and very effective kind ot seed
dispersal. The small, mostly one-seeded legumes are sitting on a stipe putting them in the centre of the
calyx This falls together with the included fruit and will be distributed by wind or swimming on
water In all cases they will al least deposited at lowest places, in which most ot the waler will be
collected, these will be the best places lor germinating and surviving
Pollination and reproduction. It seems that in recent limes all species ol Istragalus, like those of
other papilionid genera (par example Oxylropis. Ononis, Trifolium, annual Meduago) arc autogamous
fhis is supported by the total missing of real hybridcs, at least in Astragalus the missing of nectar and
the fact, that the pollen is free in the bud Dcsertic species in the Sahara (own observations) set well
fruits in total absent of Hying pollinators

Note This species was detected as an adventive in the „Port Juvenal” near Montpellier. In wild the
species is only known from few places in Kazakhstan In the lime of Dclilc, wool was delivered to the
Port Juvenal also from territories cast of the Caspian Sea So it is not so astonishing, that this rather
rare species came to Europe and was first described from here

separated geographically but are sympatric in Turkey and in western Iran Here we can lind also
intermediate form, which have been mentioned already by TOWNSEND (Fl ot Iraq) The diftcrences
are not very important, therefore we treat A superbus as synonym

Note A mine., when described by Sosnov, was said belonging to sect Erionotus Bunge. There is
indeed no one character which could justify the position within this section.
But as mentioned by the author there is some resemblance to A caraganae Hohcn , a member of sect
Asti again'. The main differences of А minis against sect Astragalus arc the following Ihc
indumentum exists of white and black hairs, which is not known in all western species of sect.
Astragalus The racemes have a short peduncle whereas the species of sect Astragalus (wtth exception
of -I < araganae) has c sessile racemes The legumes arc ovoid to globose, rounded on both ventral and
dorsal side with thick and elevated median nerves, the valves arc thin and tough All species of sect.
Astragalus with big ovoid to globose fruits have thick to very thick fruit walls.
As -1 minis would considerably widen the characters of sect Astragalus, it seems better to put it into a
section ol its own Unfortunately the species is only known from two plants only with fruits

Note. A gompholobium is extremely variabcl in respect of leaflets form and hairiness The leaflets
vary from widely ovate to filiform, the indumentum from very dense on both sides of leaflets to
completely glabrous. The whole range of variability can be found sometimes in one population As a
rule the first leaves of a year arc glabrous and have very narrow leaflets, the following arc hairy m
different way and have wider leaflets.

Note: PARKER (1918) was of the opinion the acaulescent A rhizanthus and the caulescent A
malacophyllus arc Ihc same species. ALt (1961, 1977) on the other hand thought it to be two different
species. The rich material examined shows a great variability and docs'nt allow to separate two
species. Between caulescent forms with marccsccnt rachises and the acaulescent forms with partly
hardened rachises one can find all gradual transitions The type material of A malacophvllu, contains
also plants identical with the type of A rhizanthus
Two subspecies, which arc different mostly in shape of fruits

Type (PODLECH 1990, per implicationcm): Phaea australis L. н A australis (L ) Lam
Plants perennial with 1 well dcvcloppcd stems, rarely subacaulcscent, with basifixed hairs. Stipules
free from petiole, 1 highly up connate behind the stem. Racemes borne on a rathcr long peduncle, at
anthesis mostly dense, becoming loose. Bracteoles none. Calyx campanulate Petals lilac-violct or
whitish, with violet keel apex, rarely yellowish-white. Wing blades deeply incised to bilobcd, only in
A changcucus subobtusc. Ovary with a stipe (I -)2-4 mm. Legumes with a rathcr long stipe which is
rarely shorter than thc calyx, at Icast (2-)3—4 mm, pendulous, unilocular or nearly so, rarely
incompletely or nearly completely bilocular; valves glabrous, very rarely sparsely covered with short
appressed hairs.
Distribution of thc section: Europe, Russia-Siberia to Far East, Tadzhikistan, Kirgizstan. Kazakhstan,
Mongolia, China.
A difficult section with several similar species cscpecially in Siberia. More field work and additional
collections may prove the distinctness of some of these species.
