Galegeae

Galegeae is a tribe in the flowering plant family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae. The tribe is found mostly in the northern hemisphere, but can also be found in Australia, Africa, and South America.^[1] Recent molecular phylogenetic work has determined that tribe Galegeae is paraphyletic, and that its members are scattered throughout the IR-lacking clade.^[2]

Classification

The tribe Galegeae contains roughly twenty genera.^[3] Indigofereae and Psoraleeae were once included as subtribes, but have since been elevated as distinct tribes.^[4]

Subtribe Astragalinae

Carmichaelinae Clade^[5]

• Carmichaelia R. Br.
• Clianthus Sol. ex Lindl.
• Montigena (Hook. f.) Heenan^{[Note 1]}
• †Streblorrhiza Endl.^[6][7]
• Swainsona Salisb.

Coluteinae Clade^[5]

• Astragalus L.
• Biserrula L.^{[Note 2]}
• Colutea L.
• Eremosparton Fisch. & C.A.Mey.
• Erophaca Boiss.^{[Note 2]}
• Lessertia DC.
• Ophiocarpus (Bunge) Ikonn.^{[Note 2]}
• Phyllolobium Fisch. ex Spreng.^{[8][Note 2]}
• Podlechiella Maassoumi & Kaz. Osaloo^{[Note 2]}
• Sphaerophysa DC.
• Sutherlandia R.Br.^{[Note 3]}
• incertae sedis
  • Oreophysa (Bunge ex Boiss.) Bornm.
  • Oxytropis DC.
  • Smirnowia Bunge

Subtribe Galeginae

• Galega L.

Molecular phylogenetic analysis have found tribe Galegeae to be polyphyletic,^[9] with the three subtribes recovered in different part of the inverted repeat-lacking clade.^[10][11]
