The Bean Bag A newsletter to promote communication among research scientists concerned with the systematics of the Leguminosae/Fabaceae Number 58 January 2012 FROM THE EDITOR Lourdes Rico The Bean Bag is a newsletter designed to promote communication among research scientists concerned with legume systematics. It started in 1974 as the initiative of Bob Gunn and Richard Cowan; the first printed issue was distributed in May 1975, so Bean Bag is nearly 40 years old. The aim of the Bean Bag was to produce an inexpensive and regularly circulated document to keep legume researchers informed and updated with new titles or projects on the family. As stated in issue 56, The Kew Record of Taxonomic Literature ceased to be compiled in 2008; despite many other current alert systems in journals, it remains difficult to gather all new literature on Legume Systematics. As requested by the previous editor, if readers are working in, or have knowledge of, Institutes that compile electronic records available on line, I will be grateful if they would send me the appropriate URL. In this issue the reported recent Legume literature was compiled mainly from reader’s contributions. You will notice a few minor changes in layout, but the overall format of the newsletter remains unchanged . The Bean Bag is delivered by e-mail. New readers wishing to receive a copy should send an e-mail to [email protected]. Please provide your full name, title, and area(s) of interest. Past issues, numbers 49- 56, are available on request by applying to the same e-mail address. I take the opportunity to thank the previous editor, Barbara Mackinder, for her diligent work in compiling and distributing this newsletter since 1997. NEWS Recent work of the LEGUME PHYLOGENETIC WORKING GROUP (LPWG). R. T. Pennington A legume symposium at the IBC in Melbourne, 2011, was partly an initiative of the LPWG (symposium lead organisers Anne Bruneau and Patrick Herendeen) and focused on progress towards a phylogenetic classification of the family. Several talks were based upon a new phylogenetic analysis carried out by the ‘Arizona’ group of LPWG (Martin Wojciechowski, Michael Sanderson, Shelley McMahon and Kelly Steele). There is now a plan to publish an overview paper arising from the IBC symposium that will outline where we are along the road to understanding phylogenetic relationships across legumes and therefore how far there is to go before a new phylogenetically based classification might be proposed. This paper will be published under an “LPWG” authorship, and submitted to Taxon. 1 V International Legume Conference: Advances in the XXI Century V Conferencia Internacional de Leguminosas: Avances en el Siglo XXI August 8 – 14, 2010, Buenos Aires – ARGENTINA Renée H. Fortunato The V International Leguminosae Conference (VILC) took place in the Convention Center of The Catholic University of Argentina (UCA), Buenos Aires, Argentina; 11 years after the IV ILC in Canberra, Australia, 2000. The main purpose of this meeting was to convene Legume specialists and communicate classification developments during the beginning of the XXI Century. The Conference was dedicated to Prof. Arturo Burkart (1906-1975), for his magnificent career in legume research and his directorship of the Darwinion Institute of Botany (1936-1975). There were 392 delegates from 23 different countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Egypt, England, France, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Poland, South Africa, Spain, United States of America, Taiwan, Uruguay & Venezuela), with a notable participation of Latin America countries. There were 5 days of full programme which included 12 different simultaneous Symposia and 4 satellite meetings. During the closing ceremony, Dra. Lidia Poggio presented a key paper on Cytological Parameters: Contributions to models of chromosomal evolution in the phylogenetic context of Leguminosae, co authored by Alexandra M. Gottlieb & Renée H. Fortunato. Manuscripts presented to the conference proceedings editors will be published in hard-copy and available online. The publishing institutions are: the National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA), the National Council of Science and Technology (CONICET), the Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation (MINCyT), the Argentine Society of Botany (SAB) and Missouri Botanical Garden, USA. The online version open to the public will be on the web platform of INTA with links to CONICET, MINCyT and MBG.

International Workshop in Global Legume Diversity Assessment (19-22 August 2011, Fukuoka, Japan). Lourdes Rico An international "Global Legume Diversity Assessment (GLDA)" workshop was held at Kyushu University, Japan. The GLDA project is a part of the "Integrative Observations and Assessments of Asian biodiversity" research program supported by the Environment Research and Technology Development Fund, Ministry of the Environment, Japan. As a trial for applying evolutionary approaches to biodiversity monitoring and conservation practice, bioGENESIS is promoting global genetic/phylogenetic diversity observation in collaboration with GEO BON in which GLDA is the first project under this framework. This conservation-orientated project targets the legume family one of the largest and most economically important plant families, for the first assessment of global plant diversity. This first workshop was planned by the GLDA group to develop a strategic plan for the fiveyear GLDA project and investigate key methods and indicators. The GLDA project aims to assess how rapidly species/genetic/phylogenetic/functional diversity are being lost under land-use change, climate change and other changes of environmental drivers. http://atbi.eu/biogenesis/?q=international-workshop-global-legume-diversity-assessment-1922-august-2011-fukuoka-japan 4 6th International Legume Conference, 6-10th January 2013, University of Johannesburg, South Africa Ben-Erik van Wyk The meeting will take place over five days on the University of Johannesburg campus; Wednesday is planned for excursions or as a free day for delegates not attending these. The general over-arching theme of the conference is “towards a new classification for legumes”. However, the organisers will not be proscriptive regarding the exact themes for submitted talks; there will be an open call for 15 minute talks. Talks will be organised into themes by a recently appointed scientific committee. Although parallel sessions will be avoided as far as possible, some might take place on later days of the meeting depending on the volume of talks submitted. In addition, according to the volume of contributions, there will be an opportunity for five minute “flash” presentations, which can also be used to introduce posters. There will be four plenary talks of an hour to open each day. Talks at the meeting will be in English. Talks in other languages (e.g., Spanish and Portuguese) would be accepted, but power-point slides for the presentations must be written in English. The website for the meeting (including online registration) will go live in January 2012, with a probable deadline for submission of abstracts in April 2012. Accommodation will be available at a range of hotels (off campus) and in inexpensive rooms on the University campus. A post-conference excursion to see the legumes (and other wildlife!) of the Highveld and Lowveld is planned for a maximum of 40 people. Collection of a restricted number of legume specimens during this field trip may be possible.

He was a botanist at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, but made contributions to two distinct fields of East African natural history: he was an acknowledged expert on African plants but also on non-marine molluscs (snails and slugs). His botanical contributions are well known, especially on families Leguminosae, Boraginaceae, Rubiaceae and Cyperaceae; almost one-third of the great Flora of Tropical East Africa, dealing with 12,500 species, was written by him. Additionally, Bernard`s interest in insects resulted in more than 150 published articles. His most significant entomological finds were the rare flies Leopoldius signatus and Oxycera dives. He collected Meligethes beetles in East Africa, including numerous new species. In later years he was much saddened by what he saw as the virtual extinction of insect life in Britain. He was honoured with the Kew Medal in 1986; he was president of the Conchological Society from 1969–70; honoured by the Linnean Society of London with their Gold Medal in 2000, and named a Corresponding Member of the American Society of Plant Taxonomists in 2008. Frank A. Bisby (1945-2011) th Frank A. Bisby (pictured above) died unexpectedly on 25 October 2011. Frank was head of several projects related to information systems and databases. He was the first Chair of the Taxonomic Databases Working Group now the Biodiversity Information Standards(TDWG). In 1985 he began the International Legume Database and Information Service (ILDIS), based at Southampton University. After moving to Reading University (UK) as Professor of Botany he led Species 2000, for which an integrated special software was developed to involve some 3,000 biologists and their databases. More recently he dedicated much effort to the Catalogue of Life which at present contains contributions of 99 databases with information on 1,347,224 species and 92,306 infraspecific taxa and 6 also includes 895,441 synonyms and 366,401 common names covering groups as diverse as Viruses, Animals and Vascular Plants. http://www.catalogueoflife.org/annual-checklist/2011/info/ac Legumes in Kew Herbarium extension The RBG Kew herbarium legume collections are now housed on the second floor of the new Wing E Herbarium extension completed in 2010 . The move took nearly a year to complete; with more than 750,000 specimens placed in over 10,500 green boxes now located on open compactors in temperature and humidity controlled, insect-free vaults The generic sequence for the herbarium specimens has been updated according to the most recent molecular phylogenetic studies and is largely based on Legumes of the World (published in 2005). Thank you to visitors who delayed their study visits to Kew until after the move was completed. General view of Wing E Herbarium extension.

Lourdes Rico An Acacia website was set up in 2010 to raise public awareness over the procedure of the decision taken in Vienna at the Nomenclature session in 2005 <www.acaciavote.com>; by July 2011, the votes were: 7659 opposing the re-typification of Acacia (including 101 votes from people in Australia), and only 110 accepting the re-typification (pers. comm. A.E. Wyk). The Nomenclature Section at Melbourne took place during the week before the International Botanical Congress. With regard to the name Acacia, on the first day when ratification of the Vienna Code took place, some session members opposed the inclusion of Acacia penninervis in appendix III (Conserved names). This binomial was introduced into the Code after ‘approval of the controversial proposal to retypify Acacia’ at the Vienna IBC in 2005. Despite papers published by Moore et al. (2010 & 2011) there was no detailed debate of this issue at the Melbourne Nomenclature Section. On a subseqent day time was given to discuss two possible compromise proposals, but neither received majority support. Accounts of these discussions have been published in Taxon by McNeill & Turland (2011) and Smith & Figueiredo (2011) and Rijckevorsel has a paper in press. It is important to point out that changes to the Code are made by those who are present at the Nomenclature Section and by the number of active institutional votes that they carry. Prior to the Melbourne nomenclature session, 878 votes were distributed to 506 qualifying registered herbaria (McNeil & Turland 2009), but only 396 of these were taken to Melbourne by delegates and made effective during the various card votes of the session. The two countries with the largest number of votes were Australia with 109 (69 delegates plus 40 institutional votes) and the USA with 103 (36 delegates plus 67 institutional votes); the total number of delegates participating in the session was 204, thus Australia and the USA with 105 delegates between them represented 51 % of delegates and in addition carried 27 % of the total institutional votes. Many tropical countries were grossly under-represented or not represented at all and thus had little or no influence on the voting. What happens next?. Users are entitled to use the name Acacia sensu lato, but if the different lineages of Acacia are recognized, they now have to adopt Acacia for subgenus Phyllodineae and Vachellia for subgenus Acacia. Acacia y decisiones llevadas a cabo después de la sesión de Nomenclatura en Melbourne, Australia, 2011. La pagina web www.acaciavote.com para crear conciencia pública en el procedimiento llevado a cabo en Viena en cuanto a la re-tipificación del genero Acacia. Los resultados de la página electrónica en la internet www.acaciavote.com fueron: 7659 votos oponiéndose a la re-tipificación de Acacia (incluyendo 101 votos de gente de Australia), y solo 110 aceptando la re-tipificación (com. per. A. E. Wyk). La reunión de nomenclatura en Melbourne se llevo a cabo durante la semana previa al Congreso Internacional de Botánica (CIB). Al momento de la ratificación del Código de Viena, algunos miembros de la asamblea se opusieron a la inclusión de Acacia penninevis en el Apéndice III (nombres conservados). Este binomio se adopto a raíz de la propuesta controversial en re-tipificar Acacia en el CIB en Viena del 2005. A pesar de todo lo expuesto por Moore et al. (2010 & 2011), no se llevo a cabo un debate durante la reunión. Debido a la controversia y a las numerosas publicaciones que la re-tipificación de Acacia ha tenido, se dio tiempo a discutir dos posibles compromisos en cuanto a la aplicación del nombre Acacia sensu stricto; ninguno de ellos recibió el apoyo necesario de la asamblea. Detalles al respecto se encuentran en McNeill & Turland (2011) Smith & Figueiredo (2011) y Rijckevorsel (2011, en prensa) dan detalles a lo acontecido. Es importante aclarar que los cambios al Código son hechos por los delegados que asisten a la sesión y el número de votos institucionales (VI) registrados en ésta. Los VI son dados previamente al Congreso a los curadores de los herbarios de todo el mundo que califican como activos. Previo al Congreso de Melbourne se otorgaron a 506 herbarios un total de 878 VI, de estos solamente 396, 8 correspondientes a 162 herbarios fueron llevados a Melbourne por delegados (no necesariamente del mismo país). El país con mayor representación de participantes fue Australia con 109 (69 delegados y 40 VI); los EE.UU. con 103 votos (36 delegados y 67 VI). El número total de delegados en la sesión fueron 204 (McNeill et al., 2011). Juntos los EE.UU. y Australia sumaron el 51 % de los delegados, además de que portaron con ellos un 27 % de los VI. Numerosos países tropicales no fueron representados en persona, o por votos institucionales, consecuentemente no tuvieron influencia alguna en la votación o cambios al Código. El nombre de Acacia puede ser aplicado en su sensu lato (con tres subgéneros), sin embargo para reconocer los diferentes posibles linajes o géneros, será necesario usar Acacia (= subgénero Phyllodineae) y Vachellia (= subgénero Acacia).
