The Inter and Intra-Generic Relationships between Psopho- carpus Spp.and their Allies.1984.(Diss.).Many coloured photos.figs. VI,385 p.gr8vo.Unbound.

Contents:The aim of this study was to produce a classification,firstlyof the relationships between the legume genus Psophocarpus and itsallies and secondly,between Psophocarpus species.To provide a backgroundand to clarify the problems associated with Psophocarpus taxonomy thetaxonomic history of Psophocarpus species and their allies was reviewed.Due to the large number of taxa involved in the investigation(approx.489species)and that these taxa are endemic to the tropics,practically theinvestigation was limited to morphological studies of herbarium materialgathered from major herbaria.Both phenetic and phylogenetic studies ofthe material were undertaken.-General Introduction/Taxonomic History ofPsophocarpus within the Phaseoleae/An Introduction to Data Gathering andAnalysis/Phenetic Character Set Selection/Phenetic Studies AnalysisResults/Cladistic Analysis Results/Non-morphological evidence/ProposedClassification and Discussion.
