The classification of the legume family proposed here addresses the long-known non-monophyly of the traditionally recognised subfamily Caesalpinioideae, by recognising six robustly supported monophyletic subfamilies and reflects the phylogenetic structure that is consistently resolved.
New aspects in floral development of Papilionoideae: initiated but suppressed bracteoles and variable initiation of sepals.
- G. Prenner
- BiologyAnnals of Botany
- 1 May 2004
The initiation of bracteoles as a 'new' character and the remarkable variability of the sequence of sepal initiation questions the widely stated unidirectionality of organ initiation in Papilionoideae.
The key role of morphology in modelling inflorescence architecture.

The Asymmetric Androecium in Papilionoideae (Leguminosae): Definition, Occurrence, and Possible Systematic Value
- G. Prenner
- BiologyINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL PLANT SCIENCES
- 1 July 2004
The occurrence of asymmetric androecia in basal lineages of Papilionoidae and in some Caesalpinioideae and its independence from staminal fusion is of interest in understanding legume evolution.

Comparative ontogeny of the cyathium in Euphorbia (Euphorbiaceae) and its allies: exploring the organ-flower-inflorescence boundary.
- G. Prenner, P. Rudall
- BiologyAmerican-Eurasian journal of botany
- 1 October 2007
Indistinct boundaries between inflorescence, flower, and floral organs demonstrate that defining the Cyathium neither as an inflorescence nor as a flower is entirely satisfactory and indicate a "hybrid" flower/inflorescence nature of the cyathium.
Nonflowers near the base of extant angiosperms? Spatiotemporal arrangement of organs in reproductive units of Hydatellaceae and its bearing on the origin of the flower.

Teratological forms of T. submersa indicate a tendency to fasciation and demonstrate that the inside-out structure-the primary feature that separates RUs of Hydatellaceae from more orthodox angiosperm flowers-can be at least partially modified, thus producing a morphology that is closer to an orthodox flower.
The use of digital image-based morphometrics to study the phenotypic mosaic in taxa with porous genomes
These results demonstrate the usefulness of geometric morphometrics to interrogate multiple independent phenotypic characters and detect individual traits affected by introgression and divergence in taxa with porous genomes.
Floral development in Daviesia cordata (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae: Mirbelieae) and its systematic implications
- G. Prenner
- Biology
- 30 June 2004
The floral development of Daviesia cordata Smith is studied by the use of scanning electron microscopy and the results seem to link the papilionoid flower closer to those of Caesalpinioideae and Mimosoideae.
Floral ontogeny in Lespedeza thunbergii (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae: Desmodieae): variations from the unidirectional mode of organ formation
- G. Prenner
- BiologyJournal of plant research
- 3 July 2004
The presented “new” characteristics of Lespedeza thunbergii should be an initial step toward further work on taxa of the tribe Desmodieae, and will broaden the data set and enable a detailed phylogenetic analysis.
