Griffonia is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Cercidoideae. Griffonia is known to have a high concentration of 5-HTP in its seeds.[ citation needed ]
The genus Griffonia was named by Henri Baillon in honour of his friend and fellow physician Marie-Théophile Griffon du Bellay, explorer of Gabon, pioneer in the study of sleeping sickness and also of the African entheogen Iboga, source of the alkaloid ibogaine. [5]
Griffonia comprises the following species: [3] [6] [7] [8] [9]
Delonix is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae, subfamily Caesalpinioideae. It contains trees that are native to Madagascar and East Africa. By far the best known species is the Royal Poinciana.
Parkinsonia, also Cercidium, is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae. It contains about 12 species that are native to semi-desert regions of Africa and the Americas. The name of the genus honors English apothecary and botanist John Parkinson (1567–1650).
The genus Tylosema is in the plant family Fabaceae and encompasses four accepted species of perennial legume native to southern and central Africa. These are semi-woody viniferous plants broadly distributed from Sudan and Ethiopia south to Angola and South Africa. Coetzer and Ross originally described four Tylosema species:
Gigasiphon is a genus of legume in the family Fabaceae. The genus is circumscribed is defined by "a long-tubular hypanthium, an arborescent habit, and a calyx divided into two lobes."
Phylloxylon is a genus of flowering plants in the Indigofereae tribe of the family Fabaceae. There are seven species, all endemic to Madagascar.
Cercidoideae is a subfamily in the pea family, Fabaceae. Well-known members include Cercis (redbuds), including species widely cultivated as ornamental trees in the United States and Europe, Bauhinia, widely cultivated as an ornamental tree in tropical Asia, and Tylosema esculentum, a traditional food crop in Africa. The subfamily occupies a basal position within the Fabaceae and is supported as monophyletic in many molecular phylogenies. At the 6th International Legume Conference, the Legume Phylogeny Working Group proposed elevating the tribe Cercidae to the level of subfamily within the Leguminosae (Fabaceae). The consensus agreed to the change, which was fully implemented in 2017. It has the following clade-based definition:
The most inclusive crown clade containing Cercis canadensisL. and Bauhinia divaricataL. but not Poeppigia proceraC.Presl, Duparquetia orchidaceaBaill., or Bobgunnia fistuloides(Harms) J.H.Kirkbr. & Wiersema.
Adenolobus is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Cercidoideae.
Barklya is a genus of Australian trees in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Caesalpinioideae. The sole species is Barklya syringifolia, commonly known as the leather jacket or crown of gold tree. It grows in rainforest to 18 metres tall. Recorded from Queensland and New South Wales in vine forest and softwood scrub. It is often used as an ornamental. It may be extinct in New South Wales.
Baudouinia is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Caesalpinioideae.
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.
Piliostigma is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Cercidoideae and the tribe Bauhinieae.
Baphiopsis parviflora is an African species of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. It is the only member of the genus Baphiopsis. It was traditionally assigned to the tribe Swartzieae; however, recent molecular phylogenetic analyses reassigned Baphiopsis parviflora into the Baphieae tribe.
Disynstemon paullinioides is a species of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. It is a liana that is native to Madagascar. It is the only member of the genus Disynstemon.
Hypocalyptus is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae and is the only genus found in Tribe Hypocalypteae.
Rhynchotropis is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the tribe Indigofereae of the subfamily Faboideae.
Salweenia is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae.
Spirotropis is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae.
Lasiobema is a species of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae, most of which are lianas. It belongs to the subfamily Cercidoideae and the tribe Bauhinieae. It was recently synonymized with Phanera on the basis of morphology, but this move has been questioned.
Phanera is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Cercidoideae. This genus differs from Bauhinia in being vines or lianas, generally with tendrils and a lobed rather than spathaceous calyx, and from Schnella in having only three fertile stamens rather than ten, and being native to the Indomalayan realm and the Australasian realm rather than the Americas. The subsection Corymbosae was recently segregated into a new genus, Cheniella.
Schnella is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Cercidoideae.
