<i>Styphnolobium</i> Genus of legumes

Styphnolobium is a small genus of three or four species of small trees and shrubs in the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family Fabaceae, formerly included within a broader interpretation of the genus Sophora. It was recently assigned to the unranked, monophyletic Cladrastis clade. They differ from the genus Calia (mescalbeans) in having deciduous leaves and flowers in axillary, not terminal, racemes. The leaves are pinnate, with 9–21 leaflets, and the flowers in pendulous racemes similar to those of the black locust. Necklacepod is a common name for plants in this genus.

<i>Zornia</i> Genus of legumes

Zornia is a cosmopolitan genus of herbs from the legume family Fabaceae. It was recently assigned to the informal monophyletic Adesmia clade of the Dalbergieae.

<i>Templetonia</i> Genus of legumes

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.

<i>Andira</i> Genus of legumes

Andira is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It is distributed in the tropical Americas, except for A. inermis, which also occurs in Africa. It was formerly assigned to the tribe Dalbergieae, but recent molecular phylogenetic evidence has placed it in a unique clade named the Andira clade.

<i>Centrolobium</i> Genus of legumes

Centrolobium is a Neotropical genus of legume in the family Fabaceae, assigned to the informal monophyletic Pterocarpus clade of the Dalbergieae. The genus comprises mostly large trees to 30 m tall, characterised by an abundance of orange peltate glands that cover most parts of the plant, and fruits that are large winged samaras to 30 cm long with a spiny basal seed chamber.

<i>Machaerium</i> Genus of legumes

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

<i>Ormosia</i> Genus of legumes

Ormosia is a genus of legumes. The more than 100 living species, mostly trees or large shrubs, are distributed throughout the tropical regions of the world, some extending into temperate zones, especially in East Asia. A few species are threatened by habitat destruction, while the Hainan ormosia is probably extinct already.

Orphanodendron is a genus of legume in the family Fabaceae.

<i>Leptolobium</i> Genus of legumes

Leptolobium is a small Neotropical genus of plants in the family Fabaceae, with ten species currently recognized. With the exception of Leptolobium panamense, which occurs in tropical forests from northwestern South America to Mexico, all species of Leptolobium are restricted to South America and most diverse in Brazil. Most Leptolobium species have been traditionally included in AcosmiumSchott (Fabaceae), but both genera have been recently distinguished based on several vegetative and reproductive traits.

Guianodendron praeclarum is a South American legume endemic to the Guiana Shield. It is the only member of the genus Guianodendron. It has been segregated from Acosmium based on its unique combination of vegetative and floral traits, and it is related to Diplotropis.It is the only member of the genus Guianodendron.

<i>Lysiphyllum</i> Genus of legumes

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.

<i>Chaetocalyx</i> Genus of legumes

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.

<i>Cyathostegia</i> Genus of legumes

Cyathostegia is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. It is often considered to be a monotypic genus containing only Cyathostegia mathewsii. Some sources include Cyathostegia weberbaueri.

<i>Cyclolobium</i> Genus of legumes

Cyclolobium brasiliense is a species of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. It is native to Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay and is the only member of the genus Cyclolobium.

<i>Harpalyce</i> (plant) Genus of legumes

Harpalyce is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae.

<i>Lamprolobium</i> Genus of legumes

Lamprolobium is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae.

<i>Plagiocarpus</i> Genus of legumes

Plagiocarpus is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae.

Brongniartieae Tribe of legumes

The tribe Brongniartieae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae, primarily found in tropical regions of the Americas and in Australia The members of this tribe consistently form a monophyletic clade in molecular phylogenetic analyses. The tribe does not currently have a node-based definition, but morphological synapomorphies have been identified:

"stamens united by filaments in an adaxially open tube; anthers alternately long and basifixed, short and versatile; anther connective inconspicuous; septa present between seeds in pods; aril lateral lobe present and fitting into heel of funicle; fine red glandular processes present in axils; and pollen tricolporate with opercula and no definite endoaperture."

<i>Limadendron</i> Genus of legumes

Limadendron is a genus of small trees in the family Fabaceae that was recently separated from the genus Poecilanthe.

<i>Indigastrum</i> Genus of legumes

Indigastrum is a genus of flowering plants in the tribe Indigofereae of the family Fabaceae.
