The tribe Caesalpinieae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae: subfamily Caesalpinioideae.[1]

Genera

Caesalpinieae once included many more genera, but modern molecular phylogenetics indicated that these should be transferred to other clades.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Caesalpinieae currently comprises the following genera:[9]

Phylogenetics

Caesalpinia, as traditionally circumscribed, was paraphyletic, so it was recently recircumscribed to produce many new genera:[9]

Caesalpinioideae

Notes

  1. ^ There is some evidence (see [9]) that Ticanto Adans. 1763 might be a valid genus, but it has not yet been formally reinstated as such.
