Abstract
Lotononis bainesii Baker is a pasture legume introduced into Australia from South Africa. It has grown well on the sandy soils of the high rainfall areas of south-east Queensland1 and it has a highly specific Rhizobium requirement2. As an initial step in a genetic investigation of this plant, the breeding system and the chromosome complement have been investigated.
