Taxonomy

Although the tribe as defined in the late 20th century does not appear to be monophyletic, there does seem to be a monophyletic group which roughly corresponds to the tribe Phaseoleae (with some changes). The earlier concept of Phaseoleae is paraphyletic relative to the tribes Abreae and Psoraleeae, plus most of Millettieae and parts of Desmodieae.[1][2]

The following subtribes and genera are recognized by the USDA:[3]

Cajaninae[4]


Clitoriinae[5]


Diocleinae[6]


Glycininae[7]


Kennediinae[12]


Ophrestiinae[13]


Phaseolinae[14][15]


incertae sedis
