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.

IR-lacking Clade
The inverted repeat-lacking clade (IRLC) is an informal monophyly, monophyletic clade of the flowering plant subfamily Faboideae. Well-known members of this clade include chickpeas, Vicia faba, broad or fava beans, Vicia, vetch, lentils, peas, wisteria, alfalfa, clover, fenugreek, liquorice, and locoweeds. The name of this clade is informal and is not assumed to have any particular taxonomic rank like the names authorized by the ICBN or the PhyloCode, ICPN. The clade is characterized by the loss of one of the two 25-kb inverted repeats in the plastid genome that are found in most land plants. It is consistently resolved in molecular phylogenetics, molecular phylogenies. The clade is predicted to have diverged from the other legume lineages 39.0±2.4 million years ago (in the Eocene). It includes several large, temperate genera such as ''Astragalus (plant), Astragalus'', ''Hedysarum'', ''Medicago'', ''Oxytropis'', ''Swainsona'', and ''Trifolium''.

Sutherlandia
''Sutherlandia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae containing six known living species. The genus was once organized as having a single species, ''S. frutescens'', but later expanded to include more based on morphological characteristics. However, later analysis found more genetic variation between populations than between taxa. The genus ''Sutherlandia'' is sometimes included in the genus '' Lessertia'' and it is morphologically and chemically similar to ''Lessertia'', ''Astragalus'', and other genera of the tribe Galegeae.

Erophaca
''Erophaca'' is a monotypic genus of the tribe Galegeae. Its only species, ''Erophaca baetica'', is a perennial plant distributed in disjunct populations in the Mediterranean Region. According to nrDNA ITS analysis, ''Erophaca'' is monophyletic and related to the Astragalean clade. It is also andromonoecious (a rare sexual system among the angiosperms and a novelty for Old World papilionoid legumes). ''Erophaca baetica'' has two subspecies distributed at opposite ends of the Mediterranean region: *''E. baetica subsp. baetica'': Native to the southern half of the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain) and Northwest Africa (Morocco and Algeria). *''E. baetica subsp. orientalis'': Native to the Eastern Mediterranean (Greece, Turkey, Cyprus and Lebanon Lebanon, officially the Republic of Lebanon, is a country in the Levant region of West Asia.

Galega Officinalis
''Galega officinalis'', commonly known as galega or goat's-rue, is a herbaceous plant in the subfamily Faboideae of the legume Family (biology), family Fabaceae. It is native species, native to parts of northern Africa, western Asia and Europe, but is widely cultivated and naturalised elsewhere. The plant has been extensively cultivated as a forage crop, an ornamental, a bee plant, and as green manure. ''G. officinalis'' is rich in galegine, a substance with blood glucose-lowering activity and the foundation for the discovery of metformin, a treatment for managing symptoms of diabetes, diabetes mellitus. In ancient herbalism, goat's-rue was used as a diuretic. It can be poisonous to mammals, but is a food for various insects. Etymology The English name "goat's-rue" is a translation of the Latin ''Ruta capraria'', used for the plant in 1554 when it was considered to be related to ''Ruta graveolens'', or common rue.

Streblorrhiza
''Streblorrhiza'' was a monotypic genus of legumes in the family Fabaceae. Its only species was ''Streblorrhiza speciosa'', a perennial shrub endemic to Phillip Island. It is now presumed extinct. The plant was first described by Stephan Endlicher in 1833, using two specimens collected by Ferdinand Bauer as the type for a new monotypic genus. One of these is the only known fruiting specimen. The species became extinct in 1860 in its native habit, but the plant was known to have been cultivated. An appeal was made in 2007 to discover the plant in historic gardens. The species was declared extinct worldwide in 1998. A DNA study found it to be most closely related to '' Carmichaelia'', '' Clianthus'', ''Montigena'' and ''Swainsona ''Swainsona'' is a genus of about 85 species of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae, and is endemic to Australia.

Montigena
''Montigena'' is a genus of flowering plant in the legume family (biology), family Fabaceae. It includes the sole species ''Montigena novae-zelandiae'', known more commonly the scree pea, a dicotyledonous herb endemic to the South Island of New Zealand. The plant is small and woody, arising from thin, branched stems that extend to the surface from a deeply buried root stock. The flowers vary from purple to brown, while fruits appear between January and April. ''M. novae-zelandiae'' was previously classified as ''Swainsona novae-zelandiae'' until 1998 when the genus Montigena was created based on the morphological features of the plant. Under the New Zealand Threat Classification System, it is classified as "At Risk - Declining". Its decline is predicted to be from 10% to 50% from a population of from 20,000 to 100,000 mature plants. Further comments are that it is sparse and that there are recruitment failures.

Clianthus
''Clianthus'', commonly known as kaka beak (''kōwhai ngutukākā'' in Māori), is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family Fabaceae, comprising two species of shrubs endemic to the North Island of New Zealand. They have striking clusters of red flowers which resemble the beak of the kākā, a New Zealand parrot. The plants are also known as parrot's beak, parrot's bill and lobster claw – all references to the distinctive flowers. There is also a variety with white to creamy coloured flowers called: "Albus", and a variety with rosy pink flowers called: "Roseus". Description and taxonomy Kakabeak grows to around two metres high, with spreading branches producing leaf stalks up to 15 cm long bearing several pairs of small leaflets. They usually flower from spring through to early summer, but can flower twice a year or even year round. Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander collected specimens of ''Clianthus'' in 1769 and ''C. puniceus'' was described in 1835. William Col ...

Indigofereae
The tribe Indigofereae is a subdivision of the plant family Fabaceae. It is consistently recovered as a monophyletic clade in molecular phylogenies. The Indigofereae arose 30.0 ± 3.3 million years ago (in the Oligocene). This tribe does not currently have a node-based, phylogenetic definition, but it can be distinguished by the following morphological synapomorphies: the presence of biramous hairs, keel spurs, short free staminal filaments, and short fruiting pedicels; and the loss of stipels and seed arils. Genera Indigofereae comprises the following genera: * '' Cyamopsis'' DC. * '' Indigastrum'' Jaub. & Spach * ''Indigofera'' L. * '' Microcharis'' Benth. * '' Phylloxylon'' Baill. * '' Rhynchotropis'' Harms.

Colutea
''Colutea'' is a genus of about 28 species of deciduous flowering shrubs in the legume family Fabaceae, growing from 2–5 m tall, native to southern Europe, north Africa and southwest Asia. The leaves are pinnate and light green to glaucous grey-green. The flowers are yellow to orange, pea-shaped and produced in racemes throughout the summer. These are followed by the attractive inflated seed pods which change from pale green to red or copper in colour. ''Colutea arborescens'', known as bladder senna—John Gerard cautioned, however, that they are not true senna, "though we have followed others in giving it to name Bastard Sena, which name is very unproper to it"—is indigenous to the Mediterranean; it has yellow flowers. It has a height and spread of up to 5 m. Other species include '' Colutea orientalis'', with grey leaves and coppery flowers. Species , Plants of the World Online accepted the following species: *'' Colutea abyssinica'' Kunth & C.D.Bouché *'' Colutea acuti ...
