<i>Abrus</i> Genus of legumes

Abrus is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae and the only genus in the tribe Abreae. It contains 13–18 species, but is best known for a single species: jequirity. The highly toxic seeds of that species are used to make jewellery.

<i>Vigna</i> Genus of plants

Vigna is a genus of plants in the legume family, Fabaceae, with a pantropical distribution. It includes some well-known cultivated species, including many types of beans. Some are former members of the genus Phaseolus. According to Hortus Third, Vigna differs from Phaseolus in biochemistry and pollen structure, and in details of the style and stipules.

<i>Mucuna</i> Genus of plants

Mucuna is a genus of around 114 accepted species of climbing lianas (vines) and shrubs of the family Fabaceae: tribe Phaseoleae, typically found in tropical forests.

<i>Mammea</i> Genus of trees

Mammea is a flowering plant genus with about 70 species in the family Calophyllaceae. Its members are evergreen trees having edible fruits. The flowers are polygamous, with a unitary calyx opening into two or three valvate sepals. There are 4 to 8 petals. Berries are formed, containing 1 to 4 seeds. The leaves are rigid, coriaceous and often have pellucid dots.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Phaseoleae</span> Tribe of legumes

The plant tribe Phaseoleae is one of the subdivisions of the legume subfamily Faboideae, in the unranked NPAAA clade. This group includes many of the beans cultivated for human and animal food, most importantly from the genera Glycine, Phaseolus, and Vigna.

<i>Cynometra</i> Genus of legumes

Cynometra is genus of tropical forest trees with a pantropical distribution. It is particularly important as a forest component in west Africa and the neotropics. Cynometra alexandri (muhimbi) is a familiar timber tree of central and east Africa. The genus is a member of the subfamily Detarioideae. It has been suggested that Cynometra is polyphyletic and is in need of revision. In 2019, beside description of 4 new species, Aleksandar Radosavljevic suggested that the species formerly recognized as Maniltoa should be included in this genus and some of the mainland tropical African species excluded from this genus because of their jointed pedicels and dehiscent fruits.

<i>Parkia</i> Genus of plants

Parkia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It belongs to the mimosoid clade of the subfamily Caesalpinioideae. Several species are known as African locust bean.

<i>Polyscias</i> Genus of flowering plants

Polyscias is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araliaceae. They bear pinnately compound leaves.

<i>Crudia</i> Genus of legumes

Crudia is a genus of plants in the family Fabaceae.

<i>Dialium</i> Genus of legumes

Dialium is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae, subfamily Dialioideae. Velvet tamarind is a common name for several species.

<i>Kotschya</i> Genus of legumes

Kotschya is a genus of legumes in the family Fabaceae, and was recently assigned to the informal monophyletic Dalbergia clade of the Dalbergieae. It contains the following species:

<i>Tephrosia</i> Genus of plants

Tephrosia is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae. It is widespread in both the Eastern and Western Hemisphere, where it is found in tropical and warm-temperate regions.

<i>Seddera</i> Genus of bindweeds

Seddera is a genus of plants in the bindweed family Convolvulaceae. There are currently 20 known species of the plant. Although it is mainly African, the plant extends to Arabia and India.

<i>Entada</i> Genus of legumes

Entada is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae, in the mimosoid clade of the subfamily Caesalpinioideae. It consists of some 30 species of trees, shrubs and tropical lianas. About 21 species are known from Africa, six from Asia, two from the American tropics and one with a pantropical distribution. They have compound leaves and produce exceptionally large seedpods of up to 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) long. Their seeds are buoyant and survive lengthy journeys via rivers and ocean currents, to eventually wash up on tropical beaches.

<i>Aeschynomene</i> Genus of legumes

Aeschynomene is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae, and was recently assigned to the informal monophyletic Dalbergia clade of the Dalbergieae. They are known commonly as jointvetches. These legumes are most common in warm regions and many species are aquatic. The genus as currently circumscribed is paraphyletic and it has been suggested that the subgenus Ochopodium be elevated to a new genus within the Dalbergieae, though other changes will also be required to render the genus monophyletic.

<i>Macrotyloma</i> Genus of legumes

Macrotyloma is a genus of plants in the legume family which include several species of edible beans. Some species are also used as fodder for livestock.

Adenodolichos is a genus of shrubs in the legume family Fabaceae, native to tropical Africa.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Millettieae</span> Tribe of legumes

The tribe Millettieae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae.

<i>Stictocardia</i> Genus of flowering plants

Stictocardia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Convolvulaceae.
