SB23030A revision of Derris and Brachypterum (Leguminosae subfamily Papilionoideae) in Australia
Some species of the legume genus Derris have been long used by people as insecticides and fish poisons due to certain compounds such as rotenone contained in their tissues. Yet, science has not described all the diversity in this important group of plants. Through detailed study in the field and laboratory we have revised the species of Derris and Brachypterum in Australia, and named two new Australian species of Brachypterum.
