“…Minissale et al. () reported that basal leaf petiole length never exceeded 13 cm in B. bituminosa populations from Sicily, while our study showed slightly higher values, up to 13.8 cm. The same author observed that basal leaf length in B. morisiana never exceeded 4.2 cm, whereas we found leaf lengths up to 5.2 cm.…”

Perennial forage legumes may be pivotal for improving the sustainability of Mediterranean rainfed farming systems. This study summarizes the outcomes of a study aimed at characterizing morphological and agronomic traits of new germplasm of Bituminaria bituminosa and B. morisiana in Mediterranean environments. Five B. morisiana and three B. bituminosa native populations were evaluated in a small‐plot field experiment in Sardinia (Italy) and compared with seven Spanish accessions of B. bituminosa. The two Bituminaria species differed greatly in morphological traits and the beginning of the flowering stage, and remarkable variations between species were found for forage production and its seasonal distribution, seed yield and persistence. Average cumulative dry‐matter yield was higher in B. bituminosa than in B. morisiana (+7.6%; 297 vs. 276 g per plant). Average 3‐year seed production varied greatly between accessions (from 0.3 to 141 g per plant). Differences for these traits were also found between Sardinian and Spanish germplasm of B. bituminosa. Four clusters were generated by K‐means clustering. Accessions included in cluster III exhibited a positive combination of favourable forage production, high seed yield and satisfactory persistence. Nonetheless, the cluster analysis did not highlight a sharp discrimination between Bituminaria species. The overall results revealed the potential role of Sardinian accessions of B. bituminosa and B. morisiana in extending the forage season and for increased resilience of grasslands in Sardinia and other Mediterranean regions under rainfed conditions.

“…Nevertheless, the genetic basis of B. bituminosa is far from being fully explored. In B. morisiana, there is almost no characterization for agronomic performance, although some data are available for morphological traits (Minissale, Brullo, Brullo, Giusso Del Galdo, & Sciandrello, 2013).…”

“…The seed testa sculptures of Bituminaria were investigated by Minissale et al (2013), Giusso et al (2015), Brullo et al (2016) and Bogdanović et al (2016), who highlighted the systematic relevance of these features providing additional information in order to discriminate among the allied species. In particular, the species hitherto examined are B. bituminosa , B. palaestina , B. kyreniae , B. basaltica and B. plumosa , which are characterized by different patterns of seed testa.…”

“…These speciation processes have been active in the genus Bituminaria which is represented by eight distinct species (Stirton 1981, Greuter et al 1989, Minissale et al 2013, Giusso et al 2015, Brullo et al 2016; Bogdanović et al 2016): B. bituminosa (L.) C.H. Stirt., B. morisiana (Pignatti & Metlesics) Greuter, B. flaccida (Nábělek) Greuter, B. basaltica Miniss., C. Brullo, Brullo, Giusso & Sciandr., B. kyreniae Giusso, C. Brullo, Brullo, Cambria & Miniss.…”

“…Other characters shared by all the other species of this subgenus include: trifoliolate petiolate leaves; unequal, entire leaflets, discontinuous, floral vasculature, bracts each subtending 2-3 flowers; calyx gibbose with unequal teeth; corolla anthocyanic; vexillary stamen partially fused with the other filaments; and ovary inserted on a long stalk. Recent taxonomic investigations carried out on Bituminaria (Muñoz et al 2000, Minissale et al 2013, Bacchetta et al 2014, Giusso et al 2015, Toksoy et al 2015, Brullo et al 2016; Bogdanović et al 2016) highlighted that more studies were needed to discriminate clearly the taxa belonging to the B. bituminosa complex, which is widely distributed in the Mediterranean territories. As part of these investigations we examined an isolated population of plants occurring in Morocco, which had been described by Maire (1936) as Psoralea bituminosa var. rotundata.…”

Psoraleeae consist of c. 228 species in ten genera, distributed worldwide but mostly in the temperate biome. Here, we reconstruct the phylogenetic history of Psoraleeae using eight molecular markers (rpl32-trnL, trnQ-rps16, trnS-trnG, matK, rbcLa, rpoB-trnC, trnL-trnF and ITS) to test the monophyly and previous hypotheses on generic relationships and to reconstruct the biogeographical history (distribution pattern, potential ancestral area and biome). The monophyly of Psoraleeae is supported. The African Otholobium and Psoralea form a strongly supported clade that is sister to the rest of Psoraleeae. However, Otholobium is not monophyletic; the American taxa of the genus are resolved as closer to Bituminaria, whereas Psoralea is a clade derived from within African Otholobium. South African Otholobium is subsumed into Psoralea, the latter having priority, with a synopsis of species level nomenclature provided here. An expanded sampling of Cullen reveals three clades comprising Mediterranean (Cullen americanum), African (Cullen obtusifolium and Cullen biflorum) and Eurasian (Cullen corylifolium and Cullen drupaceum) taxa, whereas Australian Cullen are a derived clade (BS = 95%, PP = 1.00). Biogeographic reconstructions show that Psoraleeae probably originated in the Mediterranean south biome of Africa in the Late Miocene, c. 8.2 Mya, and then dispersed into the succulent biome of the Americas, Mediterranean north biome, temperate grasslands of Africa and Australia to the temperate forest of Eurasia. Climate changes in the Late Miocene, changes induced by ocean currents during the Quaternary and environmental heterogeneity are proposed as the major drivers of speciation in Psoraleeae.
