Aeschynomene
''Aeschynomene'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae, and was recently assigned to the informal monophyletic ''Dalbergia'' clade of the Dalbergieae. They are known commonly as jointvetches. These legumes are most common in warm regions and many species are aquatic. The genus as currently circumscribed is paraphyletic and it has been suggested that the subgenus ''Ochopodium'' be elevated to a new genus within the Dalbergieae, though other changes will also be required to render the genus monophyletic. Species ''Aeschynomene'' comprises the following species: * '' Aeschynomene abyssinica'' (A. Rich.) Vatke * ''Aeschynomene acapulcensis'' Rose * ''Aeschynomene acutangula'' Baker * ''Aeschynomene afraspera'' J. Léonard * ''Aeschynomene americana'' L.—shyleaf ** var. ''americana'' L. ** var. ''flabellata'' Rudd ** var. ''glandulosa'' (Poir.) Rudd * '' Aeschynomene amorphoides'' (S. Watson) Robinson * '' Aeschynomene angolense'' Rossberg * '' Aeschynomene aphylla ...

Minas Gerais
Minas Gerais () is a state in Southeastern Brazil. It ranks as the second most populous, the third by gross domestic product (GDP), and the fourth largest by area in the country.

Nine Brazilian presidents were born in Minas Gerais, the most of any state. The state has 10.1% of the Brazilian population and is responsible for 8.7% of the Brazilian GDP.

Dioclea (plant)
''Dioclea'' is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae, that is native to the Americas. The seeds of these legumes are buoyant drift seeds, and are dispersed by rivers. Taxonomy A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2020 showed that when broadly circumscribed, ''Dioclea'' was not monophyletic. Many species were transferred to the genus '' Macropsychanthus''. Species , Plants of the World Online accepted the following species: *'' Dioclea albiflora'' R.S.Cowan *'' Dioclea apurensis'' Kunth *'' Dioclea burkartii'' R.H.Maxwell *'' Dioclea fimbriata'' Huber *''Dioclea guianensis'' Benth. *'' Dioclea holtiana'' Pittier ex R.H.Maxwell *''Dioclea lasiophylla'' Mart. ex Benth. *'' Dioclea lehmannii'' Diels *''Dioclea macrantha'' Huber *''Dioclea ovalis'' R.H.Maxwell *''Dioclea paniculata'' Killip ex R.H.Maxwell *''Dioclea sericea'' Kunth *''Dioclea vallensis'' R.H.Maxwell *''Dioclea virgata'' (Rich.)

It means "God is my judge"Hanks, Hardcastle and Hodges, ''Oxford Dictionary of First Names'', Oxford University Press, 2nd edition, , p. 68. (cf. Gabriel—"God is my strength"), and derives from two early biblical figures, primary among them Daniel from the Book of Daniel. It is a common given name for males, and is also used as a surname.

Acacia
''Acacia'', commonly known as the wattles or acacias, is a large genus of shrubs and trees in the subfamily Mimosoideae of the pea family Fabaceae. Initially, it comprised a group of plant species native to Africa and Australasia. The genus name is New Latin, borrowed from the Greek (), a term used by Dioscorides for a preparation extracted from the leaves and fruit pods of ''Vachellia nilotica'', the original type of the genus. In his ''Pinax'' (1623), Gaspard Bauhin mentioned the Greek from Dioscorides as the origin of the Latin name. In the early 2000s it had become evident that the genus as it stood was not monophyletic and that several divergent lineages needed to be placed in separate genera. It turned out that one lineage comprising over 900 species mainly native to Australia, New Guinea, and Indonesia was not closely related to the much smaller group of African lineage that contained ''A. nilotica''—the type species. This meant that the Australasian lineage (by ...

Ruddia
''Ormosia'' is a genus of legumes (family Fabaceae). The more than 100 living species, mostly trees or large shrubs, are distributed throughout the tropical regions of the world, some extending into temperate zones, especially in East Asia. A few species are threatened by habitat destruction, while the Hainan ormosia (''Ormosia howii'') is probably extinct already. Plants in this genus are commonly known as horse-eye beans or simply ormosias, and in Spanish by the somewhat ambiguous term ''"chocho"''. The scientific name ''Ormosia'' is a ''nomen conservandum'', overruling ''Toulichiba'' which is formally rejected under the ''International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants''. The seeds of these plants are poisonous if eaten, but often look pretty, with bright colors and decorative patterns reminiscent of an eye; the common name "horse-eye beans" refers to these seeds. They resemble the seeds of ''Abrus'', snoutbeans (''Rhynchosia''), and ''Adenanthera'', but are ...
