DownloadAbstract
Padbruggea filipes (Dunn) Craib (Fabaceae: Papilionoideae: Wisterieae) is recorded here for the first time from India, based on a collection from Manipur in 2016. This finding represents a new addition to the Indian legume flora and marks the country’s first report of the genus Padbruggea Miq. The present study provides a description of the species, accompanied by a photographic plate to aid its identification. Additionally, an identification key to the genera of the tribe Wisterieae X.Y.Zhu in India is presented to facilitate distinction among related genera.
