Phylogeny of Prosopis (Leguminosae) as shown by morphological and biochemical evidence
Prosopis L. is a rather primitive genus within the Leguminosae-Mimosoideae. This genus has been divided into five sections on the basis especially of the vegetative diversification of the spines. Three of the sections, Algarobia, Monilicarpa and Strombocarpa, are distributed in America. In order to...

Prosopis L. is a rather primitive genus within the Leguminosae-Mimosoideae. This genus has been divided into five sections on the basis especially of the vegetative diversification of the spines. Three of the sections, Algarobia, Monilicarpa and Strombocarpa, are distributed in America. In order to elucidate systematic relationships between the American sections of Prosopis, a morphological and biochemical phylogeny were obtained. Twenty-two morphological characters were scored for 27 species of Prosopis and the outgroup taxon following polyacrilamide gel electrophoresis of seed storage proteins. The results obtained clearly prove that the secction Strombocarpa is a natural taxon. The section Algarobia, on the other hand, seems to comprise an artificial grouping of species. Members of the series Denudantes appear isolated from the remaining species, therefore this taxon should be treated as a new section within Prosopis. The section Algarobia should be circumscribed to series Chilenses, Ruscifoliae and Pallidae, which are always united in a monophyletic clade.
