Taxonomy

Syrmatium belongs to a group of species traditionally placed in the tribe Loteae of the subfamily Faboideae. The taxonomy of this group is complex, and its division into genera has varied considerably. Many species of Syrmatium were formerly placed in a broadly defined genus Lotus. A molecular phylogenetic study in 2000 based on nuclear ribosomal ITS sequences confirmed the view that the "New World" (American) and "Old World" (African and Eurasian) species of Lotus did not belong in the same genus. Syrmatium was monophyletic.[2][3] The genus is not accepted by some sources.[4]

Species

As of February 2018, Plants of the World Online listed the following species:[5]

gollark: MiB is, er, some different number (1024 * 1024?).
gollark: Actually, MB is 1000000 bytes.
gollark: 8 * 16 = 128, and 2.88 * 16 = 46.08.
gollark: My 8-minute tape is 2.88MB, it seems.
gollark: I don't know.
