A Taxonomic Revision in the Genus Glycine Subgenus Glycine (Leguminosae)

Abstract
A new combination in the subgenusGlycine is proposed [G. latifolia (Benth.) Newell & Hymowitz], based on the speciesLeptocyamus latifolius originally described by Bentham but later reduced by him to synonymy underG. tabacina. Living collections ofG. latifolia form a discrete group which is morphologically distinct from the two species with which it has been confused,G. tabacina andG. tomentella. Evidence from cytology, hybridization studies and electrophoresis of seed proteins lends further support to recognition ofG. latifolia as a separate species. A short description is included together with the pertinent synonymy and citation of specimens examined.
