Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>As the result of surveying the relevant type specimens, together with macro‐ and micro‐morphological studies, chromosome counting and ITS sequencing, <italic>Astragalus trifoliastrum</italic> was found to be a species independent of <italic>A. laguriformis</italic> (with which it has peviously been synonymized). In contrast, <italic>A. wanensis</italic>, assumed to be a synonym of <italic>A. trifoliastrum</italic>, indeed appears to be identical with <italic>A. trifoliastrum</italic>. The diploid chromosome number of 2n = 16 is reported for the first time for <italic>A. trifoliastrum</italic>.</p> </abstract>
