Hiroyoshi OHASHI and Yu IOKAWA: Identity of Nogra guangxiensis Wei (Legumino・
sae: Papilionoideae-Phaseoleae)
マメ科Nograguangxiensis Weiの正体(大橋広好，五百川 裕)
Leveille (1913) described Uraria
esquirolii from Guizhou in China based on a
specimen，E sqiurol 2544. Soon after，h e
(1914) changed position of the species to
Apios，a s A. esquirolii (H. Levl.) H. Levl.
However，t he species is quite different from
these genera in having unifoliolate leaves
and lax flowered inflorescences with only a
few flowers. Accordingly，t he identity of U.
esquirolii had been regarded as unknown
(Schinqler 1928，Y ang and Huang 1981)，bu t
Lauener (1970) clarified the identity as
Nogra grahamii (Wall. ex Benth.) Me
町.
During our study on Chinese Uraria we
examined ap hoto of the holotype of Uraria
esquirolii H. Lev. in A (Fig. 1) and con-
firmed the determination by Lauener (1970)
as correct. Wen oted furthermore the species
is identical with Nogra guangxiensis Wei de

scribed from Guangxi，so uth central China in
1985.
Nogra guangxiensis was published with a
detailed illustration on the basis of an old
specimen and is distinguished from N.
grahamii in having narrowly oblong or long
lanceolate leaflets sparsely hirsute on both
Fig. 1. Uraria esquirolii H. Lev.，ho lotype (photo) in
surfaces， pale yellow corollae， obovate- A.
oblong wings with long decurved auricles at
the base of the lamina，a nd falcate somewhat
acute keel-petals (Wei 1985，1 995，2 001). cies are well illustrated by Thuan (1979)
Judging from the original description and il- based on as pecimen from Laos. The floral
lustration of the species，h owever，it is refer- characters of N. guangxiensis agree with
able to an upper p tof N. grahamii. Nogra those of N. grahamii as shown in the figures
紅
grahamii was first described by Bentham by Gagnepain (1916) and Thuan (1979)
(1852) under the illegitimate generic name based on the specimens from Laos，a lthough
Grona as G. grahamii Benth. of which the corollae are described as reddish (Baker
leaves were “unifoliolata， inferiore late 1876) or bluish (Gagnepain 1916，T huan
cordato-ovata，…， superiora ovata oblonga v. 1979)，n ot pale yellowish (Wei 1985). We
lanceolata，…， pilis paucis rigidis conspersa" think therefore Nogra guangxiensis Wei is a
(Bentham 1852). These features of the spe- synonym of Nogra grahαmii (Wall. ex
