Abstract

The Eriosema cordatum E. Mey. complex is segregated into a number of species. E. cordatum E. Mey. is retained as a polymorphic species and two allied species,  E. lucipetum C. H. Stirton and  E. zuluense C. H. Stirton are described as new. Four additional species E. buchananii Bak. f. , E. nutans Schinz, E. psoraleoides (Lam.) G. Don and E. parviflorum E. Mey. are revised and excluded from the  E. cordatum group.
