N2  - An account is given of the morphology and the taxonomy of the Asian, Australian and Pacific genus Archidendron (Leguminosae-Mimosoideae). A new infrageneric classification based on morphological data is presented, the genus being subdivided in 8 series. The phylogeny of the genus is discussed, the base of discussin being all available morphological, palynological and wood-anatomical characteres. The presence/absence of stipules, the length of the stminal tube compared with that of the corolla-turbe, the sessile/stipitate ovary(-ies), the morphology of the pods and the wood-anatomy have been particularly useful in determining the evolutionary trends within the genus. Analyses of the geographical range of selected charcter states are presented. The data suggest a Central - W. Malesian origin of the genus. The series endemic to the E. Malesian - Australian area have probably evolved more recently. The pluricarpellate condition of the flowers in several species endemic to the E. Malesian and Australian area is considered to be a derived character state. The following new taxa are proposed: Ser. Calycinae Nielsen, ser. Ptenopae Nielsen, ser Bellae Nelsen, Archidendron falcatum Nielsen, A. cockburnii Nielsen, A. sabahense Nielsen, A. fagifolium (Bl. ex Miqu.) Nielsen var. borneense Nielsen, A. kunstleri (Prain) Nielsen subsp. ashtonii Nielsen, A. ellipticum (Bl) Nielsen subsp. coridfoliolatum Nielsen. New combinations are proposed in the Malesian species formerly referred to Abarema, Zygia and Morolobium by Kostermans. Keys to and an enumeration of species are presented
