Andira clade

Neotropical, monophyletic clade of the flowering plant subfamily Faboideae (or Papilionaceae).^[1][2] The members of this clade were formerly included in tribe Dalbergieae,^[4] but this placement was questioned due to differences in wood anatomy and fruit, seed, seedling, floral, and vegetative characters.^[5][6][7][8] Recent molecular phylogenetic evidence has shown that they belong to a unique evolutionary lineage.^{[1][2][9][10][11][12]} It is predicted to have diverged from the other legume lineages in the late Eocene).^[13]

synapomorphies have been identified: "mostly fascicled leaves and densely flowered paniculate inflorescences at distal branch ends, [...] truly papilionate flowers involving petal differentiation and stamen connation", and "divergent fruit morphologies" (drupaceous in Andira and laterally compressed samaras in Hymenolobium).^[1][2][7][8]
