Cladrastis
''Cladrastis'' (yellowwood) is a genus of nine species of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae, eight native to eastern Asia, and one to southeastern North America. Species of ''Cladrastis'' are small to medium-sized deciduous trees typically growing 10–20 m tall, exceptionally to 27 m tall. The leaves are compound pinnate, with 5–17 alternately arranged leaflets. The flowers are fragrant, white or pink, produced in racemes or panicles 15–40 cm long. The fruit is a pod 3–8 cm long, containing one to six seeds. ''Cladrastis'' is related to the genus ''Maackia'', from which it differs in having the buds concealed in the leaf base, and in the leaflets being arranged alternately on the leaf rachis, not in opposite pairs. The genus name derives from the Greek ''klados'', branch, and ''thraustos'', fragile, referring to the brittle nature of the twigs. The combination of ''Cladrastis'', '' Pickeringia'' and ''Styphnolobium'' form a monophyletic clade known as the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cladrastis Clade
The ''Cladrastis'' clade is a monophyletic clade of the flowering plant subfamily Faboideae (or Papilionaceae) that is found in eastern Asia and southern North America. It is consistently resolved in molecular phylogenies and is sister to the Meso-Papilionoideae. Evidence for the existence of this clade was first proposed based on morphological (floral), cytological, and biochemical evidence. It is predicted to have diverged from the other legume lineages 47.4±2.6 million years ago (in the Eocene). Description This clade is composed of three genera: ''Cladrastis'', the monotypic ''Pickeringia'', and ''Styphnolobium''. Fossils of species of ''Cladrastis'' and ''Styphnolobium'' have been discovered. The name of this clade is informal and is not assumed to have any particular taxonomic rank like the names authorized by the ICBN or the ICPN. The clade is defined as:"The most inclusive crown clade containing ''Cladrastis kentukea'' (Dum. Cours.) Rudd 1971 but not ''Dermatophyllum s ...

Pickeringia
''Pickeringia'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It was recently assigned to the unranked, monophyletic ''Cladrastis'' clade. It was named after the naturalist Charles Pickering. Its only species is ''Pickeringia montana'', which is known by the common name chaparral pea. It is endemic to California in the United States, where its distribution extends along the Coast Ranges to the Peninsular Ranges, as well as along the Sierra Nevada foothills. It is also known from Santa Cruz Island.Howard JL. 1992''Pickeringia montana''.In: Fire Effects Information System. USDA FS. Rocky Mountain Research Station, Fire Sciences Laboratory. It is one of very few legumes native to the chaparral habitat. Its nitrogen-fixing ability helps it thrive in rocky, sandy soil. The plant is also well-suited to a landscape of hills, slopes, and recently burned areas; its roots spread quickly and help anchor loose soil, preventing erosion. Description The chaparral p ...

Styphnolobium
''Styphnolobium'' is a small genus of three or four species of small trees and shrubs in the subfamily Faboideae of the pea family Fabaceae, formerly included within a broader interpretation of the genus ''Sophora''. It was recently assigned to the unranked, monophyletic ''Cladrastis'' clade. They differ from the genus ''Calia'' (mescalbeans) in having deciduous leaves and flowers in axillary, not terminal, racemes. The leaves are pinnate, with 9–21 leaflets, and the flowers in pendulous racemes similar to those of the black locust. Necklacepod is a common name for plants in this genus. Etymology From Greek ''styphno-'', ''stryphno-'' "sour, astringent" and ''lobion'' "pod", because of the fresh pods' pulp taste. Species ''Styphnolobium'' comprises the following species: Section ''Oresbios'' * '' Styphnolobium affine'' (Torr. & A. Gray) Walp., the coralbean or Eve's necklace is native to the southern United States in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana. It is a large shr ...
