Cover Illustration: Flowers of Wisteria floribunda,a well-known ornamental plant from East Asia. Wisteriahas been placed in the predominantly tropical tribe Millettieae by its morphological similarities. However, molecular evidence suggests that Wisteriaand a tropical genus Calleryaare closer to many temperate herbaceous legumes but not to other Millettieae members. See Hu et al.: Phylogenetic systematics of the tribe Millettieae (Leguminosae) based on chloroplast trnK/matKsequences and its implications for evolutionary patterns in Papilionoideae, pp. 418430 in this issue.
