A synopsis of the family Fabaceae in the flora of Ukraine. I. Subfamilies Caesalpinoideae, Mimosoideae, Faboideae (tribes Sophoreae, Tephrosieae, Robinieae, Desmodieae, Phaseoleae, Psoraleae, Amorpheae, and Aeschynomeneae)

Colonies of Artemisia verlotiorum (Asteraceae), an alien species of East Asian origin now widespread in many countries of the world, were found in 2018 in Kyiv in the Syrets Arboretum (Syretskiy Dendropark) and in a nearby abandoned plant nursery and greenhouses. At present, three clonal colonies have been revealed. Most probably rhizomes of that species were initially introduced to Kyiv with soil and/or imported trees and/or shrubs. However, one colony (along the wall of the administrative building of the arboretum) most probably emerged from seeds dispersed by wind from the main (supposedly initial) colony in the abandoned nursery. Before our find in Kyiv, A. verlotiorum was reliably known in Ukraine in Crimea (reported since the 1920s), Transcarpathia, and from Lviv (recent records, to be discussed in detail in a forthcoming article). Most probably A. verlotiorum is spreading in Eastern Europe mainly by rhizome fragments with soil and plant material. Other alien taxa of the Artemisia vulgaris group (especially A. umbrosa and A. argyi) occur in Ukraine mainly as "railroad" plants.

А synopsis of the tribe Fabeae of Fabaceae subfam. Faboideae is presented. According to results of morphological studies and molecular phylogenetic data, the tribe Fabeae in the Ukrainian flora is represented by six genera recognized here (Vicia, Lathyrus, Ervum, Ervilia, Lens, and Pisum) that contain 76 species. The genera Vicia (34 spp.) and Lathyrus (30 spp.) are most species-rich taxa in the tribe in the Ukrainian flora. Significant nomenclatural changes have been made recently in the genus Vicia s. l. Two segregate genera, Ervum (sect. Ervum) and Ervilia (sect. Ervilia, Ervoides, Lenticula) are recognized. According to the results of molecular phylogenetic studies, it is considered necessary to include the species Lathyrus saxatilis in the genus Vicia. Some nomenclatural changes are recognized in other sections of Vicia: sect. Lathyroides, sect. Hypechusa, sect. Faba, etc. Vicia lathyroides is included in sect. Peregrinae. The placement of Vicia bithynica, V. faba, and V. narbonensis in three different sections is justified: Pseudolathyrus, Faba, and Laticarpae; the status of these taxa during a long time remained debatable.

The article provides a synopsis of the tribes Cicereae, Trifolieae, Lupulineae, Crotularieae, Genisteae of Fabaceae subfam. Faboideae in the flora of Ukraine, with nomenclatural citations, types (for most of them), and main synonyms. It is based on a critical analysis of available data on taxonomic, morphological, and molecular phylogenetic studies. The tribes Trifolieae (10 genera, 100 species) and Geniste (9 genera, 41 species) are best represented in the flora of Ukraine; least represented are Cicereae and Crotularieae (each by a single genus and species). The placement of the genus Ononis in the tribe Trifolieae is confirmed. The feasibility of splitting Trifolium s. l. into few smaller genera is not always consistent with molecular data, which indicates that most of these taxa are polyphyletic (Amoria, Lupinaster, Xerosphaera) or form paraphyletic groups: Bobrovia = sect. Glycyrrhizum, or Ursia = sect. Lupinaster. However, in our taxonomic treatment of Trifolium s. l. for the flora of Ukraine, we accept three segregate genera (Trifolium L. s. str., Chrysaspis, and Amoria), giving the advantage of diagnostic flower morphology. Occurrence of Chamaecytisus supinus, Melilotus altissimus, Trigonella balansae, T. calliceras, and T. strangulata in Ukraine (in particular, in Crimea) needs confirmation.
