The
molecular phylogenies.[2][4][6][7][8][9][10][1][11] Members of this tribe possess "non-papilionate swartzioid flowers[…]largely characterized by a tendency to lack petals combined with a profusion and elaboration of free stamens"[2][4] and a "lack of unidirectional order in the initiation of the stamens".[1] They also have "complete or near complete fusion of sepals resulting from intercalary growth early in development, relatively numerous stamens, and a single or no petal, with other petals not at all apparent in development."[12] The tribe is predicted to have diverged from the other legume lineages 48.9±2.8 million years ago (in the Eocene).[10]
Subclades and genera
Swartzioids sensu stricto Ireland et al. 2000
The members of this clade occur mainly in lowland rain forests.[4][6][1]
- Bobgunnia J. H. Kirkbr. & Wiersema
- Bocoa Aubl.
- Candolleodendron R. S. Cowan
- Fairchildia Britton & Rose[1]
- Swartzia Schreb.
Atelioids Ireland et al. 2000
The members of this clade are distinguished by "a nearly actinomorphic androecium with basifixed anthers, exarillate seeds, and a tendency toward alternate leaflets."[4][1] They occur mainly in neotropical, seasonally-dry tropical woodlands.[4]
