Abstract Details

2012, Master of Science, Miami University, Botany.
The Trifolium amabile Kunth species complex (Fabaceae) is a group of New World of clovers ranging from the mountains of southern Arizona of the United Sates, throughout the mountainous regions of Central America, and continuing southward to northern-central Argentina. As currently circumscribed in Zohary and Heller’s monograph (1984), this group is comprised of a singular species, T. amabile, and five varieties. Specimens from herbaria worldwide have been utilized for a morphometric examination to determine specific boundaries for the North American members of this complex. In this paper nine species, including four new species, are recognized as distinct and described. These species include: Trifolium amabile, T. blanquitum sp. nov., T. cognatum, T. goniocarpum, T. hickeyi sp. nov., T. laciae sp. nov., T. lozani, T. mexicanum, and T. sonoranensis sp. nov.
