A NEW COMBINATION IN THE GENUS LOTUS L.
S. I. ALl
Abstract
Astragalus (Bentham, 1865). This was maintained by Baker (1876) and more recently by Ali (1977). Rechinger f. (1957) described a new genus Kerstania Rech. f. based on K. nuristanica Rech. f. which has been shown to be conspecific with Astragalus hosackioides (Royle ex Benth.) Benth. (Ali, 1958). Rechinger f., (1984) has retained Podolotus Benth., as a separate genus whereas Polhill (1981) while discussing the genera of the tribe Loteae, has reduced Podolotus Royle ex Benth. (Astragalus sect. Podolotus (Royle) Benth.) to the synonymy of the genus. Following Polhill (1981), Astragalus hosackioides (Royle ex Benth.) Benth., is being transferred to the genus Lotus L.
