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. Recent molecular phylogenetic work has determined that tribe Galegeae is paraphyletic, and that its members are scattered throughout the IR-lacking clade.
Classification
The tribe Galegeae contains roughly twenty genera. Indigofereae and Psoraleeae were once included as subtribes, but have since been elevated as distinct tribes.
Subtribe Astragalinae
Carmichaelinae Clade Coluteinae Clade
Subtribe Galeginae
Molecular phylogenetic analysis have found tribe Galegeae to be polyphyletic, with the three subtribes recovered in different part of the inverted repeat-lacking clade.
