Leptolobieae

	Leptolobieae Leptolobieae is a Neotropical, early-branching monophyletic clade of the flowering plant subfamily Faboideae or Papilionaceae that are mostly found in South America. Description This tribe is composed of five genera, two of which were originally included in the genus ''Acosmium'' (''Guianodendron'' and ''Leptolobium'') and one of which was originally assigned to the genus ''Diplotropis'' (''Staminodianthus''). All of these genera were traditionally included in the tribe Sophoreae. However, recent molecular phylogenetic analyses resolved these five genera into a strongly-supported monophyletic clade, which warranted the reinstatement of the tribe Leptolobieae. A potential morphological synapomorphy for the tribe is: "tufts of minute colleter-like glands in the axils of bract and bracteoles".

	Faboideae The Faboideae are a subfamily of the flowering plant family Fabaceae or Leguminosae. An acceptable alternative name for the subfamily is Papilionoideae, or Papilionaceae when this group of plants is treated as a family. This subfamily is widely distributed, and members are adapted to a wide variety of environments. Faboideae may be trees, shrubs, or herbaceous plants. Members include the pea, the sweet pea, the laburnum, and other legumes. The pea-shaped flowers are characteristic of the Faboideae subfamily and root nodulation is very common.

	Sophoreae The tribe Sophoreae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae. Traditionally this tribe has been used as a wastebasket taxon to accommodate genera of Faboideae which exhibit actinomorphic, rather than zygomorphic floral symmetry and/or incompletely differentiated petals and free stamens. Various morphological and molecular analyses indicated that Sophoreae as traditionally circumscribed was polyphyletic. This led to a re-circumscription of Sophoreae, which resulted in the transfer of many genera to other tribes (Amburaneae, Angylocalyceae, Baphieae, Camoensieae, the ''Cladrastis'' clade, Exostyleae, Leptolobieae, Ormosieae, Podalyrieae, and the Vataireoids). This also necessitated the inclusion of two former tribes, Euchresteae and Thermopsideae, in the new definition of Sophoreae. Tribe Sophoreae, as currently circumscribed, consistently forms a monophyletic clade in molecular phylogenetic analyses. The Sophoreae arose 40.8 ± 2.4 million years ago (in the Eoc ...

	Leptolobium ''Leptolobium'' is a small Neotropical genus of plants in the family Fabaceae, with ten species currently recognized. With the exception of ''Leptolobium panamense'', which occurs in tropical forests from northwestern South America to Mexico, all species of ''Leptolobium'' are restricted to South America and most diverse in Brazil. Most ''Leptolobium'' species have been traditionally included in ''Acosmium ''Acosmium'' is a South America genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. Three species are currently recognized. Most ''Acosmium'' species have been recently transferred to ''Leptolobium'' and one species to the South American ''Guianode ...'' Schott (Fabaceae), but both genera have been recently distinguished based on several vegetative and reproductive traits.
