Pongamiopsis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It includes three species of trees and shrubs endemic to Madagascar. [2] They grow in seasonally-dry tropical woodland and xerophytic shrubland in northern, western, and southern Madagascar, often on limestone outcrops. [1]
Abrus is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae, and the only genus in the tribe Abreae. It contains 13–18 species, but is best known for a single species: jequirity. The highly toxic seeds of that species are used to make jewellery.
Dalbergia is a large genus of small to medium-size trees, shrubs and lianas in the pea family, Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae. It was recently assigned to the informal monophyletic Dalbergia clade : the Dalbergieae. The genus has a wide distribution, native to the tropical regions of Central and South America, Africa, Madagascar and southern Asia.
Schefflera is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araliaceae with 13 species native to New Zealand and some Pacific islands.
Cynometra is genus of tropical forest trees with a pantropical distribution.
Polyscias is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araliaceae. They bear pinnately compound leaves.
Bussea is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It includes seven species of trees and occasionally shrubs native to sub-Saharan Africa, ranging from Guinea to Ghana in West Africa, from Gabon and Angola to Tanzania and Mozambique in central Africa, and to Madagascar. Habitats include seasonally-dry tropical forests and thickets, moist semi-deciduous forests, and evergreen rain forest.
Decorsea is a genus of legume in the family Fabaceae. It includes six species native to eastern and southern Africa, ranging from Tanzania to Namibia and South Africa, including Madagascar.
Dichrostachys is an Old World genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. Their Acacia-like leaves are bi-pinnately compound. Unlike Acacia their thorns are hardened branchlets rather than modified stipules. They are native from Africa to Australasia, but a centre of diversity is present in Madagascar.
Pongamiopsis amygdalina is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae. It is found only in Madagascar.
Pongamiopsis pervilleana is a species of legume in the family Fabaceae. It is found only in Madagascar.
Dombeya is a flowering plant genus. Traditionally included in the family Sterculiaceae, it is included in the expanded Malvaceae in the APG and most subsequent systematics. These plants are known by a number of vernacular names which sometimes, misleadingly, allude to the superficial similarity of flowering Dombeya to pears or hydrangeas. Therefore, the genus as a whole is often simply called dombeyas. The generic name commemorates Joseph Dombey (1742–1794), a French botanist and explorer in South America, involved in the notorious "Dombey affair", embroiling scientists and governments of France, Spain, and Britain for more than two years.
Delarbrea is a genus of plants in family Myodocarpaceae, which contains only one other genus, Myodocarpus.
Baudouinia is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It includes six species which are all endemic to Madagascar. It belongs to the subfamily Dialioideae.
Gagnebina is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It belongs to the mimosoid clade of subfamily Caesalpinioideae. It includes five species native to the islands of the Western Indian Ocean – Aldabra, Comoros, Madagascar, and Mauritius.
Cadia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. It includes 8 species native to northeastern Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and Madagascar.
Chadsia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It includes nine species native to Madagascar. It belongs to subfamily Faboideae.
Mundulea is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It includes 12 species of small trees and shrubs native to sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar, and India. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae.
Pyranthus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It belongs to subfamily Faboideae. It includes six species of shrubs and small trees endemic to Madagascar. Typical habitat is seasonally-dry tropical woodland and grassland, often on dunes or rocky outcrops, in western, southern, and central Madagascar.
The tribe Millettieae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae.
