The dalbergioids are an early-branching monophyletic clade of the flowering plant subfamily Faboideae or Papilionaceae. They are pantropical, particularly being found in the neotropics and sub-Saharan Africa. [5] This clade is consistently resolved as monophyletic in molecular phylogenetic analyses. [2] [3] [4] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] It is estimated to have arisen 55.3 ± 0.5 million years ago (in the Eocene). [9] A node-based definition for the dalbergioids is: "The least inclusive crown clade that contains Amorpha fruticosa L. 1753 and Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. ex DC. 1825." [2] Indehiscent pods may be a morphological synapomorphy for the clade. [4]
