On account of the richness of species and the various uses of many plants of Leguminosae, the authors have, from the beginning of last autumn, devoted themselves to the study of the family which has long been neglected by the botanists in Taiwan. This paper which is a part of our taxonomic study on the leguminous plants, is an attempt to summarize our knowledge on the species of the Genus Desmodium in this island. Desmodium is one of the largest groups in Leguminosae. It comprises many herbaceous plants, but mostly common shrubs or undershrubs, occurring in waste places, open grasslands, thickets and open secondary forests in Taiwan. |
