The species of Cajanus and Pueraria, C. cajan and P. phaseoloides, originate from Asia and have become established in seminatural, disturbed habitats. One new species, Mucuna ecuatoriana, is described and several lectotypifications are made. Keys to all species are presented within respective genus along with synonymy, specimen citations, taxonomic references, and information on ecology and distribution. Many species are illustrated with either line drawings and/or colour photos.]

[abstract: All the native taxa of Mucuna hitherto, known in Eastern Asia were reexamined and the following four species with one subspecies were recognized as distinct; M. macrocarpa, M. sempervirens, M. membranacea and M. gigantea with subsp. tashiroi. A new key for distinguishing these taxa and new circumscription for each species were prepared. Differences between M. membranacea and M. nigricans were clarified.]

[abstract: The genus Mucuna is revised for the Flora Malesiana region. Several characters are discussed in some detail. The subdivision of the genus is discussed. We accept two subgenera: subg. Mucuna and subg. Stizolobium. Several groups of species showing similarity in some characters are discussed. A description of the genus is pre- sented, two keys to the species are given. The main part of the paper consists of an enumeration of the species including descriptions of new species: three by Adema (M. angustifolia, M. eurylamellata, M. kabaenensis) and four by Wiriadinata (M. aimun, M. havilandii, M. sakapipei, M. verdcourtii). Neotypes are designated for M. diabolica and M. novo-guineensis. Mucuna pachycarpa Parreno is validated. A subspecies of M. pruriens, subsp. novo-guineensis, is raised to species level as M. papuana. The paper ends with dubious and excluded species, references, a list of species and a list of names.]
