Abstract

A new species to the flora of Mongolia, Astragalus habaheensis Y. X. Liou (A. arcuatus Kar. et Kir. s. l., Fabaceae), was revealed among herbarium material (LE!). It is assumed that all reports of A. arcuatus Kar. et Kir. and A. subarcuatus Popov for Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China also belong to A. habaheensis. The difference between A. habaheensis and closely related species is illustrated by the original illustration and the identification key.

Key words: Astragalus arcuatus s. l., Mongolia, China, Xinjiang, systematics, chorology
