Acosmium is a South America genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. Three species are currently recognized.[1][2][3] Most Acosmium species have been recently transferred to Leptolobium[4] and one species to the South American Guianodendron[5] while the genus Acosmium itself has been transferred from the tribe Sophoreae to the tribe Dalbergieae[6] in a monophyletic clade informally known as the Pterocarpus clade.[7]
