Calophaca is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It includes nine species, which range from Ukraine through southern Russia and Central Asia to Xinjiang and Pakistan.[1] It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae and is closely related to the genus Caragana.[2] Nine species are accepted:[1]
- Calophaca chinensis Boriss.
- Calophaca grandiflora Regel
- Calophaca pskemica Gorbunova
- Calophaca reticulata Sumnev.
- Calophaca sericea B.Fedtsch. ex Boriss.
- Calophaca soongorica Kar. & Kir.
- Calophaca tianschanica (B.Fedtsch.) Boriss.
- Calophaca tomentosa Blatt. & Hallb.
- Calophaca wolgarica (L.f.) Pall. ex Fisch.
Caragana lidou, formerly known as Calophaca sinica, was economically profitable historically, but as an effect of overexploitation is becoming less profitable.[3]
