Padbruggea is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. [1] Its native range stretches from southern China to western Malesia. [1]
Padbruggea species are scrambling climbers, reaching heights of up to 25 m (82 ft). Their stems are dark green becoming brown with age. Their leaves are evergreen and generally have 8–18 paired leaflets plus a terminal leaflet. The leaflets are 5–12 cm (2.0–4.7 in) long by 2–3 cm (0.8–1.2 in) wide. The erect inflorescence is a panicle, 7–35 cm (3 in – 1 ft 2 in) long, usually terminal, sometimes leafy and sometimes emerging directly from the stem. The individual flowers are 13–25 mm (0.5–1.0 in) long and have the general shape of members of the subfamily Faboideae. The standard petal is 14–25 mm (0.6–1.0 in) long by 14–22 mm (0.6–0.9 in) wide, with a lilac or pinkish inner surface and a yellow nectar guide. The wing petals are about the same length as the keel at 13–20 mm (0.5–0.8 in) long by 8–11 mm (0.3–0.4 in) wide, and have short basal claws. The keel petals are 10–15 mm (0.4–0.6 in) long by 3–10 mm (0.1–0.4 in) wide with a claw up to 10 mm (0.4 in) long. Nine of the stamens are fused together, the other is free; all curve upwards at the apex. The inflated seed pods are 10–25 cm (3.9–9.8 in) long by 5–11 cm (2.0–4.3 in) wide, splitting when ripe to release their 1–2 seeds. [2]
The genus Padbruggea was established by Friedrich Miquel in 1855. [1] The genus name is in honour of Robbert Padbrugge (or Padtbrugge) (1638–1703), [3] [4] a Dutch doctor in the service of the Dutch East India Company. [4] He was governor of Ambon from 1682 to 1687. [5] A 2019 molecular phylogenetic study placed the genus in an expanded tribe Wisterieae, in a clade with Austrocallerya and, more distantly, Wisteria . The shape of the seed pods is one feature distinguishing Padbruggea from Austrocallerya. Padbruggea has seed pods that are oblong or obovoid and coarsely ridged; those of Austrocallerya are spindle-shaped and finely ridged or grooved, with constrictions between the seeds (torulose). [2]
According to Kew: [1]
Padbruggea species are native from south-central and southeast mainland China, through Indo-China (Laos, Malaya, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam) to Sumatra and Java. [1]
Afgekia is a small genus of large perennial climbing shrubs native to Thailand in Asia, belonging to the family Fabaceae. They are reminiscent of the related genus Wisteria.
Lathyrus japonicus, the sea pea, beach pea, circumpolar pea or sea vetchling, is a species of flowering plant in the legume family Fabaceae, native to temperate coastal areas of the Northern Hemisphere, and Argentina.
Barbieria is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It contains a single species, Barbieria pinnata, a climber native to the tropical Americas, from southern Mexico through Central America and the Caribbean to northern South America.
Callerya is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae, tribe Wisterieae. It includes 12 species native to the eastern Himalayas, Indochina, southern China and Taiwan, and Peninsular Malaysia. Its species are climbers, generally reaching up to about 1 m (3 ft) tall. The genus has a somewhat complicated taxonomic history; its circumscription was substantially revised in 2019.
Endosamara is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the legume family Fabaceae, tribe Wisterieae. Its only species is Endosamara racemosa, a liana found from South India through Indo-China to the Philippines.
Sarcodum is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae, tribe Wisterieae. Its three species are twining vines growing over shrubs, and are native from southeast mainland China to the Solomon Islands.
Austrocallerya megasperma, one of several species commonly known as native wisteria, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a woody climber with pinnate leaves and racemes of purple, pea-like flowers.
Whitfordiodendron is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, of Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae.
Otholobium dreweae is an upright shrublet assigned to the Pea family of about 15 cm (5.9 in) high, that appears after the vegetation burned down from the underground rootstock and forms mat-like clumps of hardly branching, leafy stems. The stems are set with stiff, entire, alternate leaves with a single leaflet and heads consisting of 12-18 initially dark pink, later white, pea-like flowers with a white nectar guide on a peduncle as long as the leaves at the end of the stem. This species is an endemic of the Kleinrivier Mountains in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It mostly flowers in November.
Otholobium accrescens is an upright, largely herbaceous subshrub assigned to the Pea family. It has up to three stems that carry upright branches in leaf axils near the ground, and have alternately set inverted egg-shaped leaves and lax heads consisting of 12-21 pea-like flowers on long peduncles in the axils of the lower leaves. It differs from most other Otholobium species by the calyx that continues to grow after flowering and the leaf that consists of just one leaflet. It is an endemic of the Eastern Cape province of South Africa near Loerie. It probably flowers August to January.
Wisteriopsis is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Fabaceae. Its native range is China to Indo-China and Temperate Eastern Asia. Wisteriopsis species are twining woody vines, generally resembling species of Wisteria. The genus was established in 2019 as a result of a molecular phylogenetic study, and includes species formerly placed in Millettia or Callerya.
Otholobium nitens is an upright, densely branched shrub of up to 1.5 m high that is assigned to the Pea family. It has one to many initially softly hairy stems, alternately set, clover-like, upright leaves crowding the new shoots, and heads consisting of 3 pea-like, dark purple to mauve flowers on short peduncles in the axils of the leaves on short side-shoots. This species is an endemic of the mountains between Ceres and Hottentots Holland in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It mostly flowers between October and late December.
Austrocallerya is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the subfamily Faboideae in the family Fabaceae. They are robust, twining woody vines.
Nanhaia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Fabaceae. Its native range is Southern China to Northern Vietnam.
Psoralea pilifera, synonym Otholobium piliferum, is a small, softly hairy shrublet of up to 30 cm (12 in) high that has been assigned to the Pea family, with branches horizontal at the base with rising tips. It regrows from the underground rootstock after fire destroys the vegetation. It has clover-like leaves on short stalks and white, pea-like flowers flushed with mauve that grow in triplets in the axils of the upper leaves of the new shoots. The species is only known from near Makhanda, Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Flowers have been seen in September and January. This is a very rare species about which little is known and which is likely threatened with extinction.
Sigmoidala is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae, first established in 2019. Its only species is Sigmoidala kityana, native to Myanmar, northern Thailand and Laos. It was first described by William Grant Craib in 1927 as Millettia kityana.
Kanburia is a genus of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native to Thailand. The genus was established in 2019. Kanburia species are twining woody vines.
Serawaia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae, first established in 2019. Its only species is Serawaia strobilifera, endemic to Borneo. The species was first described in 1994 as Callerya strobilifera.
Austrocallerya pilipes, synonym Callerya pilipes, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, endemic to Queensland, Australia. It is a robust twining vine, climbing up trees and shrubs. It is known as the northern wistaria.
