Abstract
Lotus subgenus Syrmatium is a group of 11 plant species that exhibit extensive ecological and morphological diversity throughout the California floristic province. Fifteen polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated from two taxa, Lotus argophyllus var. adsurgens and L. dendroideus var. traskiae, and were screened for variability in 15 additional taxa within Lotus subgenus Syrmatium. Moderate levels of variability were observed with mean numbers of alleles per locus ranging from 1.3 to 7.3. The mean observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.09 to 0.47 and 0.10 to 0.79, respectively. These new loci will be useful in conservation genetic and evolutionary studies within Lotus subgenus Syrmatium.
