Brullo, S., Giusso del Galdo, G. & Musarella, C. M.: Taxonomic revision of Astragalus angus-tifolius group (Fabaceae). — Bocconea 24: 19-52. 2012. — ISSN 1120-4060.
Taxonomical, nomenclatural and chorological aspects of Astragalus angustifolius Lam., a crit-ical and still not deeply investigated species, are examined. It is a typical orophyte, with athorny cushion-like habit, distributed in the eastern Mediterranean territories. Based on litera-ture, A. angustifolius represents a species complex, including many taxa at specific, subspecif-ic or variety level. From field, herbarium and literature investigations, it was possible to clari-fy the taxonomical position of the taxa hitherto referred to A. angustifolius s.l., as well as ofthose ones showing close relationships with this species. The identified taxa are the followings:A. angustifolius Lam. with the subsp. angustifolius (Anatolia), subsp. echinoides (L’Hér.) stat.nov. (Crete), subsp. erinaceus (C. Presl) stat. nov. (C & S Greece, Cephalonia), subsp. bal-canicus subsp. nov. (N Greece, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, and Albania), subsp. postianussubsp. nov. (Lebanon and Syria), subsp. aegeicus subsp. nov. (Lesvos, Samos and Chios), andsubsp. odonianus subsp. nov. (Thassos), A. pungens Willd. (Anatolia), A. valdeviolaceus sp.nov. (S Anatolia), A. hubermorathii sp. nov. (S Anatolia), A. hermoneus Boiss. (Lebanon andSyria), A. sirinicus Ten. (Italy), A. tymphresteus Boiss. & Spruner (N Greece, Macedonia,Albania and Serbia), A. taygeteus Perss. & Strid (S Peloponnese), A. heideri Wettst. (SAnatolia), A. genargenteus Moris (Sardinia), A. gennarii Bacch. & Brullo (Sardinia), A.greuteri Bacch. & Brullo (Corsica), A. croaticus Alegro & al. (Croatia). For each species theupdated nomenclature, synonyms, type, iconography and distribution range are given. A phylo-genetic tree based on morphological data is provided too.
Introduction
The Astragalus species, characterized by a thorny cushion-like habit and occurring inthe Mediterranean area, represent an interesting and rather critical group, which certainlydeserve in-depth taxonomical investigations. The first outcomes concerning some of thesecritical species brought to the description of new taxa belonging to A. creticus Lam. group,such as A. dolinicolus and A. creticus subsp. minoicus from Crete (Brullo & Giusso 2001,2003), to A. genargenteus Moris group, as A. gennarii and A. greuteri from Sardinia andCorsica (Bacchetta & Brullo 2006), to A. sirinicus Ten. group, as A. croaticus from Croatia(Alegro & al. 2009) and to A. tragacantha L. group, such as A. tegulensis from Sardinia(Bacchetta & Brullo 2010).
Further on-going researches are focused on other thorny species belonging to differentsections, such as A. Sect. Racophorus Bunge, A. Sect. Pterophorus Bunge, and A. Sect.
Adiaspastus Bunge. Several controversial taxa fall within these sections, such as A. rumeli-cus Bunge, A. parnassi Boiss., A. thracicus Griseb., A. cylleneus Fisch., A. cephalonicusC. Presl, A. sempervirens L., etc.
Another rather tricky species is A. angustifolius Lam. included by Chamberlain &Matthews (1970) into A. Sect. Melanocercis Bunge, while recently Podlech (2008) refers it tothe Sect. Tragacantha DC. In particular, the latter section is characterized by leaves imparip-innate (terminal leaflet early deciduous) with spiny rachis, white and black bifurcate hairs,stipules joined below, raceme, bracteolate flowers and legume bi-locular exceeding the calyx.
According to literature, A. angustifolius represents within the genus Astragalus a criti-cal and hitherto not deeply investigated species. This plant is a typical orophyte with athorny cushion-like habit, growing at an altitude of 1000-2500 m a.s.l., and chiefly occur-ring in the eastern Mediterranean territories (Balkans, Aegean Islands, Anatolia, Armenia,Syria and Lebanon). On the basis of field and herbarium investigations, as well as on lit-erature, A. angustifolius may be considered a species complex which includes many taxa,morphologically and chorologically more or less differentiated, usually considered sisterspecies and treated as subspecies or varieties, as A. retusus Willd., A erinaceus C. Presl.,A. pungens Willd., A. echinoides L’Hér., A. olympicus Pall., A heideri Wettst., A. angusti-folius subsp. longidens Hub.-Mor. & V.A. Matthews, A. angustifolius subsp. pungens(Willd.) Hayek , A. angustifolius var. violaceous Boiss., A. angustifolius var. peduncularisBoiss., A. angustifolius var. glabrescens Boiss., etc.
Aim of the present study is to clarify the taxonomy, nomenclature, typification and dis-tribution of the taxa referred to A. angustifolius, taking advantage both from the observa-tion of herbarium specimens and living material collected in the whole distribution rangeof this interesting group. Several allied species, showing close relationships with A. angus-tifolius, are also examined. They are A. sirinicus Ten., A. tymphresteus Boiss. & Spruner,A. taygeteus Perss. & Strid, A. hermoneus Boiss., A. genargenteus Moris, A. gennariiBacch. & Brullo, A. greuteri Bacch. & Brullo, and A. croaticus Alegro & al.
Results
Several authors have previously dealt with the A. angustifolium group, describing newtaxa or proposing new combinations and synonyms. This brought to a great confusion inthe taxonomic treatment of this group. In fact, the different arrangements proposed are inmost cases very disagreeing, likely because they are not based on in-depth morphologicalanalyses. The proposals of the main authors concerning the systematic of the group at issueare listed in the following scheme:

As it is possible to infer, the opinions on the taxonomy of this group are rather con-flicting! Therefore, an in-depth morphological analysis of each validly described taxon,based on herbarium specimens and living material chiefly coming from the type localities,was necessary. Such investigations, together with the typification of the taxa closely relat-ed to A. angustifolius, allowed to verify their proper systematic position.
The lectotypification of the old taxa is mainly based on the papers published by D.Podlech (1998, 2008).
Our morphological surveys allowed to recognize several diacritical features, which appearrather unchangeable in the investigated populations (Table 1). Thanks to these characters, itwas possible to distinguish several taxa which are morphologically well differentiated.
Based on the morphological affinities observed, together with the available nomenclat-ural data, it is here proposed a new systematic arrangement of this group:

Furthermore, in order to clarify the relationships among the taxa here recognized, a phy-logenetic analysis was performed by using morphological characters (PAUP* ver. 4.0b.10).All characters used for the phylogenetic analysis were unordered and equally weighted.Some potential characters that deal with near-continuous variations were excluded.
The character states were determined by examination of living material, herbariumspecimens, and literature data (see Electronic supplementary file ESF1). Character statebased on literature data was verified by examination of living and herbarium material tothe greatest possible extent. Organization, definition and scoring of character states with-in characters took advantage of natural breakpoints in character state distribution. The datamatrix used for the analysis is shown in the Electronic supplementary file ESF2.
The results of the cladistic analysis partly support the outcomes of the morphologicalinvestigations. In fact, the heuristic search generated one most parsimonious cladogram(Fig. 1). A radial tree is also provided, in order to highlight the phylogenetic relationshipsamong the surveyed taxa (Fig. 2 ).
As both these tree shows, there is a clear separation between the A. angustifolius group(clade A) and A. sirinicus group (clade B). Actually, within each clade different subgroupscan be recognized. In particular, the first subclade of the clade A groups the taxa moreclosely allied to A. angustifolius s.str. (A. aegeicus, A. echinoides, A. erinaceus and A.odonianus). In fact, they show the same dense and compact pulvinate habit, inflorescencenot or slightly exserted from the leaves, as well as an allopatric distribution. Therefore, wedeem that these taxa can be treated at subspecific level. As concerns the other subclade, itincludes A. balcanicus, A. hubermorathii, A. pungens and A. postianus. The taxa falling inthis second subclade could be distinguished at specific level, since they appear morpho-logically much more differentiated from A. angustifolius s. str., compared to the taxa of thefirst subclade. Nevertheless, we prefer to consider A. postianus and A. balcanicus as sub-species of A. angustifolius, since they, besides sharing the same pulvinate-compact habitand some morphological features mainly regarding the inflorescence, they are geographi-cally well isolated. It is important to note that both these taxa, together with the above men-tioned subspecies, were previously referred to A. angustifolius s.str. On the other hand, the

Fig. 2. Single most parsimonious radial tree resulting from the heuristic analysis of the taxa belon-
ging to the Astragalus angustifolius group (A. terracianoi used as outgroup).
other two taxa, A. hubermorathii (=A. angustifolius subsp. longidens) and A. pungens, pre-viously were treated by most authors as subspecies of A. angustifolius, even if they arecharacterized by a very different habit (forming quite loose pulvines) and a inflorescencelonger than leaves,, and a distribution sympatric with A. angustifolius subsp. angustifolius.Therefore they can be more correctly considered as distinct species. An isolated positionwithin this clade is occupied by A. valdeviolaceous (=A. angustifolius var. violaceus)which, due to some morphological features (especially concerning the flower colour andits loose habit), seems to be more related to A. sirinicus group.
As concerns the clade B, it is possible to recognize two subclades: the first oneincludes A. heideri and A. hermoneus, both occurring in the Near East and morphologi-cally more differentiated when compared with the other taxa of this group, while the sec-ond subclade groups A. sirinicus s.str., A. tymphresteus, A. taygeteus, A. genargenteus,A. greuteri and A. croaticus. An higher degree of isolation can be observed in A. gen-narii which, indeed, shows some intermediate features between the A. sirinicus groupand the A. angustifolius one. In particular, A. gennarii, due to its compact habit, is ratherclose with A. angustifolius s.str., while the legume indumetum (subglabrous) is moresimilar to that of A. sirinicus group.
Some of the more relevant morphological differences useful for distinguishing the taxaof this group are illustrated in Table 1a and 1b.
In order to easily identify the examined taxa, detailed information are provided foreach of them. They regard the valid name, literature reference, type, synonyms (togeth-er with their own types), full description, iconography, chorology, distribution range, aswell as a selection of examined specimens (B, BP, C, CAG, CAT, FI, G, ISTE, K, M, P,PAL, PR, PRC, TO, W, WU, ZA).
