Indigofereae
Tribe of legumes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The tribe Indigofereae is a subdivision of the plant family Fabaceae. It is consistently recovered as a monophyletic clade in molecular phylogenies.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][4][15][16][17][18][19][excessive citations] The Indigofereae arose 30.0 ± 3.3 million years ago (in the Oligocene).[20]

This tribe does not currently have a node-based, phylogenetic definition, but it can be distinguished by the following morphological synapomorphies: the presence of biramous hairs, keel spurs, short free staminal filaments, and short fruiting pedicels; and the loss of stipels and seed arils.[3]
