Leucomphalos capparideus Benth. (1848)

Leucomphalos is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It contains a single species, Leucomphalos capparideus, a climbing perennial shrub native to the Guineo-Congolian forest of Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and the Gulf of Guinea Islands. ^{[2] [3]} It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. Leucomphalos was traditionally assigned to the tribe Sophoreae; ^[4] however, recent molecular phylogenetic analyses reassigned Leucomphalos to the Baphieae tribe. ^{[5] [6] [7] [8]}
