Description

Vegetative characteristics

They are mostly perennial, sometimes annual, herbaceous plants or shrubs. They are mostly simple or T-shaped hairs ( trichomes ), and sometimes glandular or glandular points available.

Most alternate arranged leaves are pinnate or mostly unpaired; at Alhagi they are simple, rarely reduced and scale-like. The differently shaped stipules are often grown together.

Generative features

Are formed racemose inflorescences. The hermaphrodite flowers are zygomorphic are fünfzählig with a double perianth. The five sepals are bell-shaped fused to Roehrig. The upper two calyx teeth are often smaller. The corolla has the typical structure of the Fabaceae. Most have grown nine of the ten stamens with each other. There is an above- permanent carpel available. There are many available to little ovules. The stylus is almost smooth, just inside the lower part he is bearded.

There shall be inflated, swollen or pin-shaped legumes that usually remain closed at maturity. Sometimes you have only one, usually two or more seeds.

System

The tribe is divided into three Galegeae subtribe with about 22 to 24 genera with 2900-3200 species:

• Subtribe Astragalinae: It contains about 20 genera: Astragalus ( Astragalus L.): A very large genus of about 2,500 species in the Old World and about 500 species in the New World.
• Biserrula L.: It contains only one type: Biserrula pelecinus L.: It is native to the Mediterranean and in some areas (such as Australia), an invasive plant.

• Clianthus maximus Colenso: It is classified as "vulnerable " = " at risk " rating.
• Parrot's beak ( Clianthus puniceus Sol. ): He is originally available only in the North Island of New Zealand and in some areas a neophyte. He is known as " critically endangered " = " threatened with extinction " rated.

• Erophaca baetica (L.) Boiss. It is common in the Mediterranean.

• Oreophysa microphylla ( Jaub. & Spach ) Browicz: It occurs only in Iran.

• Podlechiella vogelii ( Webb) Maassoumi & Kaz.Osaloo ( syn. Astragalus prolixus Sieber ex Bunge, Astragalus vogelii ( Webb) Bornm, Phaca vogelii Webb. ): She was separated from the genus Astragalus 2003, but this is not generally accepted. It occurs in the Cape Verde Islands, in southern Algeria, southern Libya, Chad, Ethiopia, Sudan, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Saudi Arabia, on the Sinai Peninsula, southern Iran, Indian Punjab, as well as southern and central Pakistan.

• Smirnowia turkestana Bunge: It occurs in Afghanistan, Iran, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.

• Streblorrhiza speciosa Endl. This endemic to the Phillip Island is extinct.

• Subtribe Galeginae: it contains only one genus: Galega L.: The eight species occur in southern Europe, western Asia and the eastern tropical Africa before.

• Süßhölzer (Glycyrrhiza L.): The approximately 20 species occur mainly in Eurasia, in addition, in Australia, North and South America before.
