Mimosoids

	Mimosoids The Mimosoideae are a traditional subfamily of trees, herbs, lianas, and shrubs in the pea family (Fabaceae) that mostly grow in tropical and subtropical climates. They are typically characterized by having radially symmetric flowers, with petals that are twice divided (valvate) in bud and with numerous showy, prominent stamens. Recent work on phylogenetic relationships has found that the Mimosoideae form a clade nested with subfamily Caesalpinioideae and the most recent classification by ''The Legume Phylogeny Working Group'' refer to them as the Mimosoid clade within subfamily Caesalpinioideae. The group includes about 40 genera and 2,500 species. Taxonomy Some classification systems, for example the Cronquist system, treat the Fabaceae in a narrow sense, raising the Mimisoideae to the rank of family as Mimosaceae. The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group treats Fabaceae in the broad sense. The Mimosoideae were historically subdivided into four tribes (Acacieae, Ingeae, Mimoseae, and ...

''Kanaloa'' is a monotypic genus with the single species ''Kanaloa kahoolawensis''. History ''Kanaloa'' was discovered in 1992 by the botanists Ken Wood and Steve Perlman of the National Tropical Botanical Garden on Kahoolawe, Kahoolawe, a small island that was formerly used as a bombing range. Kahoolawe was a penal colony for the Hawaiian monarchy from 1826 to 1853, after which it was leased for ranching. Dry weather and ranching have devastated the island's vegetation. Only two wild plants of ''Kanaloa kahoolawensis'' have been observed growing on the island. The genus and species were formally named by Lorence and Wood in 1994. The genus name honors the Hawaiian deity Kanaloa, who according to legend used the island to rest and regain hi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Desmanthus ''Desmanthus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the mimosoid clade of the subfamily Caesalpinioideae of the pea family, Fabaceae. The name is derived from the Greek words δεσμός (''desmos''), meaning "bundle", and ἄνθος (''anthos''), meaning "flower". It contains about 24 species of herbs and shrubs that are sometimes described as being suffruticose and have bipinnate leaves. ''Desmanthus'' is closely related to ''Leucaena'' and in appearance is similar to '' Neptunia''. Like '' Mimosa'' and ''Neptunia'', ''Desmanthus'' species fold their leaves in the evening. They are native to Mexico and North, Central and South America. Members of the genus are commonly known as bundleflowers. Donkey beans is another common name and originated in Central America, where ''Desmanthus'' species are highly regarded as fodder for these domestic draught animals.

	Xerocladia ''Xerocladia viridiramis'' is a species of plant in the legume family (Fabaceae). It is the sole species in the monotypic genus ''Xerocladia''. Name This plant was first discovered in 1822 and named ''Acacia viridiramis'' by Burchell. In 1862, Harvey described the new genus ''Xerocladia'', based on his species ''Xerocladia zeyheri'' Harv. In 1891, Taubert studied this species and discovered that Burchell and Harvey were actually describing the same species. He also determined that the plant doesn't fit into the genus ''Acacia'' and kept the name ''Xerocladia''. Because the earliest publication (after 1753) has priority, Taubert made the new combination ''Xerocladia viridiramis'' (Burch.) Taub. In conclusion, ''Acacia viridiramis'' Burch. is the basionym for ''Xerocladia viridiramis'' (Burch.) Taub, and ''Xerocladia zeyheri'' Harv. is a synonym.
