Description

Appearance and leaves

There usually are woody plants that grow as shrubs, rarely trees or vines. Only the genus Tephrosia rarely includes one year or more often perennial herbaceous plants.

The constantly against arranged leaves consist of a cushioned petiole and a leaf blade usually imparipinnate. Leaflets are available at the Blattrhachis the usually five to 15 ( three to over forty ) usually in pairs opposite, rarely they are alternate; sometimes reduced to a Leaflet. The stipules often drop out early; Stipules of leaflets may be present.

Inflorescences and flowers

The inflorescences are structured very differently, but there are no elongated racemes; the flowers are several and these bundles are summarized in pseudotraubigen or pseudorispigen total inflorescences. Sometimes the inflorescences are on leafless branches or directly on the main stem. There are usually cover sheets available.

The hermaphrodite flowers are zygomorphic and fünfzählig double perianth ( perianth ). The five sepals are fused and trimmed or end with four to five calyx teeth. The corolla has the typical structure of the Fabaceae. The flags can have at their base calluses. The wings are free or adhere more or less on boat at. The stamens of nine or all ten stamens are fused with each other. The anthers are sometimes hairy. Usually a discus -tube is present. The only constant upper carpel containing one to twelve seeds of plants.

Fruit and seeds

The sometimes edged legumes have woody or papery valves and open at maturity or remain closed. The differently shaped seeds have a hard or woody seed coat ( testa).

System

The 1855 by Friedrich Anton Wilhelm Miquel in Fl. Ned. Ind., 1 ( 1 ), pp. 137 established name Millettieae Miq. has according to the rules of the ICBN ( International Code of Botanical Nomenclature ) priority over Tephrosieae ( Benth. ) Hutch ..

The Tribe Millettieae contains about 43 to 45 genera with 900-920 species:

  • Afgekia Craib: With about three species in southwestern China, Myanmar and Thailand.
  • Aganope Miq. With about seven species in tropical and subtropical Africa, Asia, and on the Pacific Islands.
  • Antheroporum Gagnep. With about five species in southern China, Thailand and Vietnam.
  • Apurimacia Harms: With two to four species in South America.
  • Austrosteenisia R.Geesink: With only two species in Australia and New Guinea.
  • Behaimia Griseb. With the only kind: Behaimia cubensis Griseb. It occurs only in Cuba. The endangered species grows in woodland and dry evergreen forests on dogtooth limestone cliffs, rocky terraces and cliffs.
  • Bergeronia sericea Micheli: It occurs in Argentina and Paraguay.
  • Burkilliodendron album ( Ridl. ) Sastry: It is native to Malaysia's.
  • Craspedolobium unijugum ( Gagnepain ) Z.Wei & Pedley: It is common in Southeast Asia and China.
  • Dahlstedtia pinnata ( Benth. ) Malme: It is native to Brazil.
  • Disynstemon paullinioides ( Baker) M. Pelt. It is native to Madagascar.
  • Margaritolobium luteum ( IMJohnst. ) Harms: It is native to Venezuela.
  • Pongamia pinnata (L.) Merrill: It is distributed in the tropics and partially in the subtropics worldwide.
  • Xeroderris stuhlmannii ( Taub. ) Mendonça & EPSousa: It is distributed from tropical to southern Africa.
