Taxonomic notes and distribution of Gueldenstaedtia (Chesneyinae, Fabaceae) in Mongolia

Abstract

The genus Gueldenstaedtia Fisch. is small genus of Fabaceae that includes four species worldwide. Among these, G. monophylla Fisch and G. verna (Georgi) Boriss. are currently recognized as occurring in Mongolia. Here, we present our findings on G. verna from our recent field surveys in eastern Mongolia in 2020. Gueldenstaedtia monophylla is mostly distributed in the western region, whereas G. verna occurs in eastern Mongolia. The regional conservation status of both species was assessed as near threatened based on criterion B in the country. We provided descriptions, grid distribution maps, taxonomic notes and photographic illustrations of the two species based on our newly collected samples.

“…Similarly, grid distribution maps for the family Orchidaceae including 26 taxa were provided by Baasanmunkh et al (2021c). Furthermore, distribution maps of new plant records and rare species (Javzandolgor et al, 2021;Gundegmaa et al, 2022;Baasanmunkh et al, 2022c) were provided using the same approach as Baasanmunkh et al (2022b).…”
