Astragalus lasiopetalus belongs to the sect. Erionotus (Ulziykhutag 2003), however, this section was transferred to the sect. Caprini, according to Podlech and Zarre (2013). In this study, A. lasiopetalus was clustered with the sect. Erionotus based on phylogenetic results (Fig. 2). Astragalus lasiopetalus is morphologically similar to A. lanuginosus, but can be distinguished by its leaflets (7 –) 9–12 (– 15) pairs, ovate to elliptic, 10–25 (– 32) × 7–16 (– 20) mm, upper side glabrous or nearly so, underside with ascending hairs (vs. (16 –) 20–26 pairs, ovate to elliptic or obovate, (4 –) 5–12 × (3 –) 4–8 mm, upper side cotton-wool like, often glabrescent, underside subappressed hairy), racemes 2–10 (– 12) - flowered (vs. 2–5 (– 6) - flowered), standard 14–18 (– 20) mm, oblong-panduriform, hairy on midline (vs. 20–29 (– 35) mm, obovate-panduriform, densely appressed hairy on upper side), pods long villous (vs. densely covered with appressed to spreading hairs).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/7E9C4924F9B954FA8D528C0204465304	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Dissitiflori consists of shrubby, subshrubby, or occasionally herbaceous perennials with well-developed stems, A. platyphyllus is a perennial acaulescent species, making direct placement in the sect.

Chaetodon v Astrag.: 48 (1967).</p><p>Fig. 16</p><p>Notes.</p><p>This species is endemic and was originally described in Kyzyl-Zhar, located north of Taldy-Kurgan in Kazakhstan (Puchkova 1967). We found this species (voucher number: MT 4-3) on the rocky, rubbly, steppified slopes of the foothills of the Chu-Ily Mountain, occurring at elevations of 1,100 –1,150 m. Although the species was originally described in the sect. Chaetodon, it has subsequently been treated within the sect. Laguropsis in major taxonomic studies on Astragalus (Ulziykhutag 2003; Podlech and Zarre 2013). In general, it is very similar to A. laguroides but can be easily distinguished by its short stems, leaflets densely covered with spreading hairs. According to previous literature (Puchkova 1967; Podlech and Zarre 2013), the taxonomic status of A. chaetodon and A. psilolobus from sect. Chaetodon is still doubtful. In addition, many photo observations of both species have been uploaded to the iNaturalist and Plantarium platforms under the A. chaetodon name. In the past, Puchkova (1967) has revised sect. Chaetodon based on morphological evidence, and described A. psilolobus from the Chu-Ili Mountains in Kazakhstan. According to Puchkova (1967), sect. Chaetodon was divided into four groups, with A. psilolobus being a separate group, emphasizing that the sectional position of this species should be determined based on phylogenetic analysis and extensive morphological studies. Subsequently, A. psilolobus was transferred to sect. Laguropsis from sect. Chaetodon is based only on its description (Podlech and Zarre 2013). Therefore, in the present study, we identified both species based on their morphological and phylogenetic data. Based on our phylogenetic results, A. psilolobus is closely associated with A. arbuscula (sect. Dissitiflori), rather than the species of sect. Chaetodon . In addition, our morphological studies confirmed that A. psilolobus is different from A. laguroides (Fig. 15 C; type species of sect. Laguropsis) and A. uvsicus Munkht. &amp; Baasanm. (Fig. 15 D; type species of sect. Uvsicus from Mongolia) by its short stems, leaflets densely covered with spreading hair (Fig. 15).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/648AD9B57F6953109F58C1131A05EBCB	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
