Chamaecytisus is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. It may be a synonym of Cytisus. C. palmensis is a tree from the Canary Islands used as a fodder crop around the world.
Pereskia is a small genus of about four species of cacti that do not look much like other types of cacti, having substantial leaves and non-succulent stems. The genus is named after Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc, a 16th-century French botanist. The genus was more widely circumscribed until molecular phylogenetic studies showed that it was paraphyletic. The majority of species have since been transferred to Leuenbergeria and Rhodocactus. Although Pereskia does not resemble other cacti in its overall morphology, close examination shows spines developing from areoles, and the distinctive floral cup of the cactus family.
Purdiaea is a genus of flowering plants in the family Clethraceae described as a genus in 1846. It is one of two genera in this family, and was formerly classified in the related family Cyrillaceae. Purdiaea is native to tropical regions of the Caribbean, Central America and northern South America, further south than the related genus Clethra, the only other genus of this family.
Andira is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It is distributed in the tropical Americas, except for A. inermis, which also occurs in Africa. It was formerly assigned to the tribe Dalbergieae, but molecular phylogenetic studies in 2012 and 2013 placed it in a unique clade within subfamily Faboideae named the Andira clade.
Kalappia is a genus of plants in the family Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Dialioideae. Its only species is Kalappia celebica, a tree found only in Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Streblorrhiza was a monotypic genus of legumes in the family Fabaceae. Its only species was Streblorrhiza speciosa, a perennial shrub endemic to Phillip Island. It is now presumed extinct.
Stenostomum radiatum, synonym Antirhea radiata, is a species of plant in the family Rubiaceae. It is found in Cuba and Haiti. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Exostema is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae. It consists of trees and shrubs, endemic to the neotropics, with most of the species occurring in the West Indies.
Sideroxylon cubense is a species of plant in the family Sapotaceae. It is native to Cuba, Hispaniola, the Leeward Islands, and Puerto Rico.
Lysiphyllum is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, subfamily Cercidoideae and tribe Bauhinieae. It belongs to the subfamily Cercidoideae. It was formerly treated as part of the genus Bauhinia, but recent molecular phylogenetic analysis confirms that Lysiphyllum is a distinct genus from Bauhinia.
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.
Baphiopsis parviflora is an African species of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It is the sole species in genus Baphiopsis. It is a shrub or tree which ranges from Cameroon to Tanzania and Angola.
Dalhousiea is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. It was named by Robert Graham after James Andrew Ramsey the 10th Earl of Dalhousie or alternatively after George Ramsay, 9th Earl of Dalhousie and Christian Ramsay, Countess of Dalhousie, for her work in the classification of Indian botany. Dalhousiea was traditionally assigned to the tribe Sophoreae; however, recent molecular phylogenetic analyses reassigned Dalhousiea into the Baphieae tribe.
Petaladenium urceoliferum is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. It is the only member of the genus Petaladenium. It produces three chemical compounds in its leaves that are not found in other members of the Amburaneae: (2S,4S,5R)-5-hydroxy-4-methoxypipecolic acid, (2S,4R,5S)-5-hydroxy-4-methoxypipecolic acid, and (2S,4R,5R)-4-hydroxy-5-methoxypipecolic acid. Petaladenium urceoliferum is unique among legumes in having fimbriate–glandular wing petals.
Calliandra haematomma is a species of flowering plants of the genus Calliandra in the family Fabaceae. Calliandra pilosa is a synonym of C. haematomma var. glabrata.
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."
Poissonia is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae, tribe Robinieae.
Thouinia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Sapindaceae. The genus is named for André Thouin, a French botanist. As of 2020 Kew's Plants of the World Online lists 27 species in the genus:
Neomezia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Primulaceae. It only contains one known species, Neomezia cubensis(Radlk.) Votsch It is also in the subfamily of Theophrastoideae.
Ottoschmidtia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Rubiaceae. It only contains one known species, Ottoschmidtia microphylla(Griseb.) Urb.
