Cowan, R. S., Allen, O. N., Allen, E. K.·1982·Taxon

Abstract

This encyclopedic global survey leguminous root nodulation, the result 45 years research by O. N. Allen and Ethel K.

The volume contains a comprehensive taxonomic account the family Leguminosae as a framework for the author s census report the nodulating and non-nodulating genera and species. The main body the work consists synopses 750 leguminous genera arranged alphabetically. Each is described taxonomically within its proper tribe and subfamily, in accordance with accepted classification systems. All the nodulation data from the survey are further summarized in tabular alphabetical listings genera under each the three subfamily categories.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
