AB6DD0153556FFE248B85764FA2FFE93.taxon	discussion	As now circumscribed, sect. Daubentonia comprises only New World species, although Sesbania punicea is an escaped ornamental in Africa and elsewhere (Lewis 1988). Daubentonia now includes sect. Daubentoniopsis, which has long, linear, but torulose pods that are quite different from the short, quadratebodied, often-winged pods of the traditionally circumscribed Daubentonia. Given the distribution of Daubentoniopsis is centered in Jalisco and Michoacan, Mexico (McVaugh 1987), geographic proximity predicts the degree of phylogenetic relatedness more than similarities in pod morphology, at least for species of Sesbania. McVaugh (1987; pp. 697 – 698) details the complicated nomenclature of the sole species of Daubentoniopsis, Sesbania cavanillesii S. Watson (5 S. longifolia DC.).	en	Farruggia, Frank T., Lavin, Matt, Wojciechowski, Martin F. (2018): Phylogenetic Systematics and Biogeography of the Pantropical Genus Sesbania (Leguminosae).

AB6DD0153556FFE248B85292FED0F9F2.taxon	discussion	Although strongly resolved as New World sister clades, sect. Glottidium is maintained as distinct from sect. Daubentonia (DC.) Bentham because of the large genetic (Fig. 5) and morphological differences that separate Glottidium from Daubentonia. The morphological differences include an annual growth habit and auricle along the upper margin of the keel petals, albeit inconspicuous, which are pleisomorphic traits shared by Glottidium and the Pantropical clade. Differences also pertain mostly to the inflated pod of Glottidium, which contains two seeds that are together enclosed inside an endodermal sac that has abscised from the other dermal layers of the fruit wall, compared to the typical 4 - winged, several-seeded sect. Daubentonia. Whereas Daubentonia is mostly neotropical in distribution, Glottidium occurs in temperate southeastern U. S. A.	en	Farruggia, Frank T., Lavin, Matt, Wojciechowski, Martin F.

AB6DD0153556FFE24B0D5004FB6DFAE6.taxon	discussion	We recircumscribe the pantropical S. sect. Sesbania to include former S. subg. Agati and S. subg. Pterosesbania, which comprises two species mainly from southern Africa, S. tetraptera and S. rogersii Phill. & Hutch., the latter of which is now considered a subspecies of S. tetraptera (Lewis 1988). These two species (or subspecies) produce mature legumes that are very similar to those of S. sect. Daubentonia (DC.) Benth. in that they have legumes with four longitudinal wings along the legume body. This shared similarity in legume morphology prompted Lavin and Sousa S. (1995) to synonymize S. subg. Pterosesbania under S. sect. Daubentonia. Results of our phylogenetic analysis strongly suggest that the four-winged legume was independently evolved in the New World sect. Daubentonia and the African S. tetraptera (including S. rogersii). However, S. subg. Pterosesbania have generally long, many-seeded linear fruits, which are characteristic of the species of S. sect. Sesbania.	en	Farruggia, Frank T., Lavin, Matt, Wojciechowski, Martin F. (2018): Phylogenetic Systematics and Biogeography of the Pantropical Genus Sesbania (Leguminosae).

AB6DD0153556FFE248B853B1FF57FC2D.taxon	discussion	A sectional classification of the genus Sesbania is adapted from Lavin and Sousa S. (1995) and revised and updated using information produced since that study. We arrive at a classification of all species of Sesbania into just three sections (Fig. 5).	en	Farruggia, Frank T., Lavin, Matt, Wojciechowski, Martin F.
