Cratylia is a genus of legume in the family Fabaceae. It includes eight species native to tropical South America, from Peru and northern Brazil to northeastern Argentina. [1]
As of August 2023 [update] , Plants of the World Online accepted the following species: [1]
Dioclea is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae, that is native to the Americas. The seeds of these legumes are buoyant drift seeds, and are dispersed by rivers.
Coursetia is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae. Members of the genus, commonly known as babybonnets, are shrubs and small trees native to the Southwestern United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America as far south as Brazil and Peru. The genus is named for French botanist Georges Louis Marie Dumont de Courset (1746–1824).
Calliandra is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae, in the mimosoid clade of the subfamily Caesalpinioideae. It contains about 140 species that are native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas.
Centrosema, the butterfly peas, is a genus of American vines in the legume family (Fabaceae). It includes 44 species, which range through the tropical and warm-temperate Americas from the southern United States to northern Argentina. Species include:
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.
Copaifera is a genus of tropical plants in the legume family Fabaceae. It includes 40 species native to the tropical Americas, west and central tropical Africa, and Borneo.
Macropsychanthus grandiflorus is a species of legume native to South America. The seeds of Macropsychanthus grandiflorus contain a well-characterized lectin named DGL which is similar to other legume lectins.
Senegalia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It belongs to the Mimosoid clade. Until 2005, its species were considered members of Acacia. The genus was considered polyphyletic and required further division, with the genera Parasenegalia and Pseudosenegalia accepted soon after.
Muellera is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It includes 32 species native to the tropical Americas, ranging from southern Mexico to northern Argentina. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae.
Cleobulia is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to subfamily Faboideae. It includes four species of vines, lianas, or shrubs native to southwestern Mexico and Brazil. Habitats include Amazon rainforest, seasonally dry forest, and montane oak and pine forest.
Harpalyce is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. It includes 35 species of shrubs and small trees native to the tropical Americas. Their distribution is disjunct, ranging from Mexico to Nicaragua, Cuba, and northern to southeastern Brazil and Bolivia. Typical habitats include seasonally-dry tropical forest, warm-temperate humid forest, woodland, bushland and thicket, shrubland, and grassland. Most species are evergreen and flower during the dry season.
Macropsychanthus is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the tribe Diocleae, subfamily Faboideae. The genus has 47 species with a pantropical distribution, ranging through the tropical Americas from southern Mexico to northeastern Argentina, west and central Africa, Madagascar, Indochina, Malesia, Papuasia, and Queensland.
The tribe Diocleae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae.
Libidibia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It includes seven species of trees and shrubs native to the tropical Americas, ranging from northern Mexico to northern Argentina. Typical habitats include seasonally-dry tropical forest and scrub, thorn forest, and savanna woodland. It belongs to the subfamily Caesalpinioideae.
Bionia is a small genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae, native to central and eastern Brazil. It was resurrected from Camptosema.
Betencourtia is a genus of plants in the pea family (Fabaceae). It includes eight species native to South America, ranging from Colombia and Venezuela through Brazil to Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and northeastern Argentina.
Cerradicola is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family (Fabaceae). It includes 16 species native to Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and northern Argentina.
Nanogalactia is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family (Fabaceae). It includes three species native to the tropical and subtropical Americas. The species have a disjunct distribution – Texas to southwestern Mexico, Colombia, and northeastern and west-central Brazil through Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay to northern Argentina.
Mantiqueira bella is a species of flowering plant in the legume family, Fabaceae. It is the sole species in genus Mantiquiera. It is a climber native to Minas Gerais state in southeastern Brazil.
