Isotropis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. The genus is endemic to Australia.
Isotropis comprises the following species: [1] [2] [3] [4]
The status of the following species is unresolved: [4]
Almaleea is a genus of perennial shrubs from the legume family Fabaceae native to Australia.
Phyllota is an Australian genus from the family Fabaceae, a biological grouping of flowering plants.
Aotus is an Australian genus of flowering plants, within the legume family Fabaceae. Aotus species, together with other species of the tribe Mirbelieae, are often called golden peas because of their distinctive small yellow flowers. They are endemic to Australia, occurring in all states except the Northern Territory. Aotus are evergreen species. Some are widely cultivated by gardeners for their ornamental value.
Leptosema is a genus of flowering plants from the legume family Fabaceae. According to the Australian Plant Census, species of Leptosema occur in the Northern Territory, Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland.
Eutaxia is a genus of the family Fabaceae. They are native to Australia. Most are endemic to the Southwest Botanical Province of Western Australia, but a few are distributed throughout mainland Australia. The chromosome number of Eutaxia species is typically 2n = 14 or 16.
Dipteryx is a genus containing a number of species of large trees and possibly shrubs. It belongs to the "papilionoid" subfamily – Faboideae – of the family Fabaceae. This genus is native to South and Central America and the Caribbean. Formerly, the related genus Taralea was included in Dipteryx.
Templetonia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. They are native to Australia. The genus is named in honour of John Templeton, an Irish naturalist and botanist.
Gastrolobium is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. There are over 100 species in this genus, and all but two are native to the south west region of Western Australia.
Jacksonia is a genus of about forty, mostly leafless broom-like shrubs or small trees in the flowering plant family Fabaceae. The genus is endemic to Australia and species occur in a range of habitats in all Australian states except South Australia.
Platylobium is a genus of shrubs in the family Fabaceae. Native to south eastern Australia, they occur in a range of habitats of the coastal regions. The genus was first described by James Edward Smith, and is closely allied to Bossiaea, another genus within the Mirbelioids.
Griffonia is a genus of central African 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.
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. It is dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate plants.
Aenictophyton is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae.
Callistachys is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae.
Chaetocalyx is a genus of lianas in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae, and was recently assigned to the informal monophyletic Adesmia clade of the Dalbergieae. Members of this genus are found in Central and South America. Chaetocalyx can be distinguished from most other legumes by its climbing habit, its imparipinnate leaves, and, in most species, by its elongate loments. It can be distinguished from Nissolia, which also has a climbing habit, by the articles of the loments, which are uniform in size in Chaetocalyx, rather than with a terminal, expanded, winglike article as in Nissolia. Unlike most papilionoid legumes, Chaetocalyx species do not form root nodules.
Latrobea is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. The plant is named after Charles Joseph La Trobe.
Muelleranthus is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae.
Ptychosema is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae.
Stonesiella selaginoides, the clubmoss bush-pea, is a species of flowering plant in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. It is the only member of the genus Stonesiella and is endemic to Tasmania. It is named to recognise Australian botanical illustrator Margaret Stones.
