Jiang &amp; Y. Z. Zhang, discovered during field investigations in the Baima Mountain region, Deqin County, Yunnan Province, China, is formally described. This species is defined by a unique combination of diagnostic morphological characters that unequivocally distinguish it from all previously documented congeners: it is completely glabrous throughout, with narrowly oblong leaflets, yellow flowers, and obliquely ellipsoid, glabrous, inflated legumes. The full chloroplast genome of\n                    <jats:italic>A. baimaensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    is 124,633 bp in length. Phylogenetic reconstructions based on plastid genomic data resolve\n                    <jats:italic>A. baimaensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    as sister to\n                    <jats:italic>A. tongolensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    , whereas analyses of the combined nuclear ITS and plastid (\n                    <jats:italic>rbcL<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>matK<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) multilocus dataset support a closer evolutionary affinity between\n                    <jats:italic>A. baimaensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>A. chilienshanensis<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Despite these close phylogenetic relationships, the new species exhibits a distinct set of consistent morphological differences that clearly distinguish it from both putative relatives. The results highlight the considerable taxonomic value of variation in ovary pubescence within\n                    <jats:italic>Astragalus<\/jats:italic>\n                    and confirm that the presence or absence of trichomes on the ovary represents a stable diagnostic trait for species delimitation and infrageneric classification in this genus. This study adds to the known diversity of\n                    <jats:italic>Astragalus<\/jats:italic>\n                    and provides data for future phylogenetic and ecological studies.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3897\/phytokeys.278.191151","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,30]],"date-time":"2026-07-30T08:29:51Z","timestamp":1785400191000},"page":"55-74","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Astragalus baimaensis (Fabaceae), a new species from Yunnan, China"],"prefix":"10.3897","volume":"278","author":[{"given":"Qi-Yin","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Yunnan Key Laboratory of Screening and Research on Anti-pathogenic Plant Resources from Western Yunnan, Dali, China"},{"name":"College of Pharmacy, Dali University, Dali, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hai-Tao","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yunnan Key Laboratory of Screening and Research on Anti-pathogenic Plant Resources from Western Yunnan, Dali, China"},{"name":"College of Pharmacy, Dali University, Dali, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jie-Hua","family":"Rao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yunnan Key Laboratory of Screening and Research on Anti-pathogenic Plant Resources from Western Yunnan, Dali, China"},{"name":"College of Pharmacy, Dali University, Dali, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hai-Feng","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yunnan Key Laboratory of Screening and Research on Anti-pathogenic Plant Resources from Western Yunnan, Dali, China"},{"name":"College of Pharmacy, Dali University, Dali, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bei","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yunnan Key Laboratory of Screening and Research on Anti-pathogenic Plant Resources from Western Yunnan, Dali, China"},{"name":"College of Pharmacy, Dali University, Dali, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhuo","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yunnan Key Laboratory for Plant Diversity and Biogeography, Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Kunming, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong-Zeng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Yunnan Key Laboratory of Screening and Research on Anti-pathogenic Plant Resources from Western Yunnan, Dali, China"},{"name":"College of Pharmacy, Dali University, Dali, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2258","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"191151_B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0149726"},{"key":"191151_B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/biology12010138"},{"key":"191151_B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sajb.2013.07.022"},{"key":"191151_B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btp348"},{"key":"191151_B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/imt2.107"},{"key":"191151_B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/nar\/gkv784"},{"key":"191151_B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02789332"},{"key":"191151_B8","unstructured":"Doyle J (1987) A rapid DNA isolation procedure for small quantities of fresh leaf tissue.
