The tribe Caesalpinieae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae: subfamily Caesalpinioideae. [1]
Caesalpinieae once included many more genera, but modern molecular phylogenetics indicated that these should be transferred to other clades. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] Caesalpinieae currently comprises the following genera: [9]
Caesalpinia, as traditionally circumscribed, was paraphyletic, so it was recently recircumscribed to produce many new genera: [9]
