“…In recent decades the interest to the study of Hedysarum has increased. Researchers touched upon the classical issues of morphology and variability of external features of H. grandiflorum (Ilyina, 2005(Ilyina, , 2006Avdeyev, Ryazanova, 2008;Lavrentiev, 2016 b;Suprun, Schanzer, 2017) and other species of Hedysarum (clarified morphology (Zubairova, Anatov, 2012;Belous, Zinner, 2013;Syeva, Mandaeva, 2013;Zhmud, 2013;Dural, Citak, 2015), existing species are more accurately separated (Zvyagina et al, 2016), describes the morphology of new species (Bidarlord et al, 2015;Dehshiri, Goodarzi, 2016;Liu et al, 2017;Başköse et al, 2018;Nafisi et al, 2019), including rare ones (Haidar, Qaiser, 2018)) and providing no detailed descriptions (Golovanov et al, 2018;Abbas et al, 2019). The information for full and clear separation of species, subspecies and hybrids of the intricate genus Hedysarum has not been gathered so far.…”
