Cladrastis clade
Clade of legumes / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.[2][3][4] It is consistently resolved in molecular phylogenies and is sister to the Meso-Papilionoideae.[1][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Evidence for the existence of this clade was first proposed based on morphological (floral), cytological, and biochemical evidence.[11][12] It is predicted to have diverged from the other legume lineages 47.4±2.6 million years ago (in the Eocene).[13]
