Galegeae
Tribe of leguminous plants
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Galegeae is a tribe in the flowering plant family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae. The tribe is found mostly in the northern hemisphere, but can also be found in Australia, Africa, and South America.[1] Recent molecular phylogenetic work has determined that tribe Galegeae is paraphyletic, and that its members are scattered throughout the IR-lacking clade.[2]

Classification
The tribe Galegeae contains roughly twenty genera.[3] Indigofereae and Psoraleeae were once included as subtribes, but have since been elevated as distinct tribes.[4]
Subtribe Astragalinae
Carmichaelinae Clade[5]
- Carmichaelia R. Br.
- Clianthus Sol. ex Lindl.
- Montigena (Hook. f.) Heenan[Note 1]
- †Streblorrhiza Endl.[6][7]
- Swainsona Salisb.
Coluteinae Clade[5]
- Astragalus L.
- Biserrula L.[Note 2]
- Colutea L.
- Eremosparton Fisch. & C.A.Mey.
- Erophaca Boiss.[Note 2]
- Lessertia DC.
- Ophiocarpus (Bunge) Ikonn.[Note 2]
- Phyllolobium Fisch. ex Spreng.[8][Note 2]
- Podlechiella Maassoumi & Kaz. Osaloo[Note 2]
- Sphaerophysa DC.
- Sutherlandia R.Br.[Note 3]
- incertae sedis
Subtribe Galeginae
- Galega L.
Molecular phylogenetic analysis have found tribe Galegeae to be polyphyletic,[9] with the three subtribes recovered in different part of the inverted repeat-lacking clade.[10][11]
