Title: The delimitation of the tribe Vicieae (Leguminosae) and the relationships of Cicer L.
Abstract: A survey of morphological, anatomical, karyological and chemical characters has been carried out, centred on the Vicieae but extending to the neighbouring tribes Trifolieae and Ononideae. The results show that Cicer, traditionally a member of the Vicieae, has more in common with genera of the Trifolieae and Ononideae than with the rest of the Vicieae. It is proposed that Cicer should be removed from the Vicieae and recognized as the monogeneric tribe Cicereae Alef. The tribe Vicieae sensu stricto, a well-defined natural group, is delimited and described. Phylogenetic relationships of the Cicereae are discussed.
