Farruggia, Frank T., Lavin, Matt & Wojciechowski, Martin F., 2018, Phylogenetic Systematics and Biogeography of the Pantropical Genus Sesbania (Leguminosae), Systematic Botany (Basel, Switzerland) 43 (2), pp. 414-429 : 426

Sesbania Adanson , Fam. pl. 2: 327. 1763, nomen conserv. (as Sesban , but corrected to Sesbania by Scopoli, Intr. hist. nat. 308. 1777; see Gillett 1963). TYPE: Sesbania sesban (L.) Merrill .

A sectional classification of the genus Sesbania is adapted from Lavin and Sousa S. (1995) and revised and updated using information produced since that study. We arrive at a classification of all species of Sesbania into just three sections ( Fig. 5 ).

Figures

FIG. 5. Supertree of Sesbania and designated outgroups. Tree shown is majority-rule consensus of final 100 trees derived from the MRP analysis of a supermatrix generated from a combination of nrDNA ITS, nuclear TRPT, and plastid trnK-matK strict consensus trees (104 included characters). Nonparametric bootstrap proportions (from maximum parsimony analyses) and Bayesian posterior probabilities greater than 50% and 0.5, respectively, are indicated below each supported node. Letters indicate selected nodes in Table 3. Taxon distributions are indicated to right of phylogeny.
