Baphiopsis parviflora is an African species of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. [3] It is the sole species in genus Baphiopsis. It is a shrub or tree which ranges from Cameroon to Tanzania and Angola. [2]
It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. It is the only member of the genus Baphiopsis. [4] [5] [6] It was traditionally assigned to the tribe Swartzieae; [7] however, recent molecular phylogenetic analyses reassigned Baphiopsis parviflora into the Baphieae tribe. [8] [9] [10]
Camoensia is a genus of 2 species of lianas in the family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae, native to the Gulf of Guinea, Africa. C. scandens is cultivated as an ornamental plant; it has one of the largest leguminous flowers, up to 20 cm across. The genus has classically been assigned to the tribe Sophoreae, but was recently assigned to its own monophyletic tribe, Camoensieae, on the basis of molecular phylogenetic evidence. Species of Camoensia are known to produce quinolizidine alkaloids, consistent with their placement in the genistoid clade.
Baphia is a small genus of legumes that bear simple leaves. Baphia is from the Greek word βάπτω, referring to a red dye that is extracted from the heartwood of tropical species. The genus is restricted to the African tropics. Baphia was traditionally assigned to the tribe Sophoreae; however, recent molecular phylogenetic analyses reassigned Baphia to the tribe Baphieae.
Crotalarieae is a tribe of flowering plants belonging to the family Fabaceae. It includes rooibos (Aspalathus linearis), harvested for sale as a tisane.
Airyantha is a small genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. It was named after the botanist Herbert Kenneth Airy Shaw. It was traditionally assigned to the tribe Sophoreae; however, recent molecular phylogenetic analyses reassigned Airyantha into the Baphieae tribe.
Amphimas is a small genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. It is a west African tree used for medicine and for wood. Amphimas was traditionally assigned to the tribe Sophoreae; however, recent molecular phylogenetic analyses reassigned Amphimas into an unspecified position in the Meso-Papilionoideae.
Dalhousiea is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. It includes two species, one native to central Africa, and the other to eastern India, Bangladesh, and Myanmar.
Hymenolobium is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It includes 14 species of trees native to Central America and northern South America, ranging from Honduras to Bolivia and southeastern Brazil. Most species are native to Brazil, the Guianas, and Venezuela, with one extending into Peru, another into Ecuador, and one native to Central America. Trees are typically very tall and emergent in tropical humid lowland rain forest.
Hypocalyptus is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It includes three species of shrubs, subshrubs or small trees native to the Cape region of South Africa. Typical habitats include Mediterranean-climate shrubland (fynbos) at forest margins, in rocky and sandy areas, and along streams, often at high elevations.
Leucomphalos is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It contains a single species, Leucomphalos capparideus, a climbing perennial shrub native to the Guineo-Congolian forest of Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and the Gulf of Guinea Islands. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. Leucomphalos was traditionally assigned to the tribe Sophoreae; however, recent molecular phylogenetic analyses reassigned Leucomphalos to the Baphieae tribe.
Vatairea is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It includes eight species of tall trees native to the tropical Americas, ranging from southern Mexico to Bolivia and southern Brazil. Seven species are native to northern South America, with the center of diversity in Amazonia. Vatairea lundellii ranges from southern Mexico to Panama. Most species grow in tropical rain forest, often in the inudated forests known as igapó and varzea, where they are emergent trees, growing above the forest canopy. V. macrocarpa grows in seasonally-dry forest, cerrado, and caatinga.
Vataireopsis is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It includes four species of small to emergent trees, native to northern South America, ranging from Colombia, Venezuela, and the Guianas to Bolivia and southern Brazil. They grow in tropical lowland rain forest, in both the Amazon and Atlantic Forest.
The tribe Brongniartieae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae, primarily found in tropical regions of the Americas and in Australia The members of this tribe consistently form a monophyletic clade in molecular phylogenetic analyses. The tribe does not currently have a node-based definition, but morphological synapomorphies have been identified:
"stamens united by filaments in an adaxially open tube; anthers alternately long and basifixed, short and versatile; anther connective inconspicuous; septa present between seeds in pods; aril lateral lobe present and fitting into heel of funicle; fine red glandular processes present in axils; and pollen tricolporate with opercula and no definite endoaperture."
The tribe Dipterygeae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae. It was recently recircumscribed to include the following genera:
The tribe Amburaneae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae. It has been circumscribed to include the following genera, which used to be placed in tribes Sophoreae and Swartzieae:
The tribe Exostyleae is an early-branching monophyletic clade of the flowering plant subfamily Faboideae that are mostly found in Neotropical rainforests.
The tribe Ormosieae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae, primarily found in tropical regions of the Americas, but also in southeast Asia and northern Australia. The members of this tribe were formerly included in tribe Sophoreae, but were recently circumscribed into a new tribe. The members of this tribe consistently form a monophyletic clade in molecular phylogenetic analyses. The tribe does not currently have a node-based definition, but morphological synapomorphies have been tentatively identified: "mostly dehiscent pods with woody valves" and "tufts of minute colleter-like glands in the axils of bract and bracteoles". Like other genistoids, members of tribe Ormosieae are known to produce quinolizidine alkaloids.
The Genistoids are one of the major radiations in the plant family Fabaceae. Members of this phylogenetic clade are primarily found in the Southern hemisphere. Some genera are pollinated by birds. The genistoid clade is consistently resolved as monophyletic in molecular phylogenetic analyses. It is estimated to have arisen 56.4 ± 0.2 million years ago. A node-based definition for the genistoids is: "the MRCA of Poecilanthe parviflora and Lupinus argenteus." One morphological synapomorphy has been tentatively identified: production of quinolizidine alkaloids. Some genera also accumulate pyrrolizidine. A new genus, to be segregated from Clathrotropis, has also been proposed to occupy an undetermined position within the genistoid clade.
The tribe Baphieae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae. The Baphieae tribe arose 55.3 ± 0.4 million years ago.
Baphiastrum is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family (Fabaceae). It includes a single species, Baphiastrum brachycarpum, a liana native to west-central Africa. It grows in Guineo-Congolian forest in Cameroon, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, and Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Bowringia is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family (Fabaceae), found in tropical Africa and southeastern Asia. It includes four species native to western and central Africa and Madagascar, and to Borneo, Indochina, and southern China.
