Robinioids
The robinioids are one of the four major clades (along with the genisitoids, dalbergioids and millettioids) in subfamily Faboideae of the plant family Fabaceae (Leguminosae). It is composed of the traditional tribes Loteae, Sesbanieae and Robinieae. It is a large and important clade that is distributed in mostly temperate areas. Species in this clade share a unique determinate root nodule structure. The clade is predicted to have diverged from the other legume lineages 48.3±1.0 million years ago (in the Eocene The Eocene ( ) is a geological epoch (geology), epoch that lasted from about 56 to 33.9 million years ago (Ma). It is the second epoch of the Paleogene Period (geology), Period in the modern Cenozoic Era (geology), Era. The name ''Eocene'' comes ...). History Only two tribes (Loteae and Robinieae) were traditionally included in clade robinioids. Lavin & Schrire later included Sesbanieae into clade robinioids.

Hosackia
''Hosackia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae (legumes). It is native to western North America, from British Columbia in Canada to Mexico. Taxonomy ''Hosackia'' belongs to a group of species traditionally placed in the tribe Loteae of the subfamily Faboideae. The taxonomy of this group is complex, and its division into genera has varied considerably. Many species of ''Hosackia'' were formerly placed in a broadly defined genus '' Lotus''. A molecular phylogenetic study in 2000 based on nuclear ribosomal ITS sequences confirmed the view that the "New World" (American) and "Old World" (African and Eurasian) species of ''Lotus'' did not belong in the same genus. When narrowly circumscribed, ''Hosackia'' was monophyletic. New World species at one time placed in ''Hosackia'' have been transferred to ''Acmispon'', '' Ottleya'' and '' Syrmatium''.

Tetragonolobus
''Lotus'', a latinization of Greek '' lōtos'' (), is a genus of flowering plants that includes most bird's-foot trefoils (also known as bacon-and-eggs) and deervetches. Depending on the taxonomic authority, roughly between 70 and 150 species are accepted, all legumes; American species formerly placed in the genus have been transferred to other genera. ''Lotus'' species are found in the Eastern Hemisphere and adapted to a wide range of habitats. The aquatic plant commonly known as the Indian or sacred lotus is ''Nelumbo nucifera'', a species not closely related to ''Lotus''. Description Most species have leaves with five leaflets; two of these are at the extreme base of the leaf, with the other three at the tip of a naked midrib. This gives the appearance of a pair of large stipules below a " petiole" bearing a trefoil of three leaflets; in fact, the true stipules are minute, soon falling or withering. C. A.

Syrmatium
''Syrmatium'' was a formerly accepted genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae (legumes), native to the southwestern United States. , it was considered a synonym of ''Acmispon'' by Plants of the World Online, and only ''Acmispon'' was recognized by the Jepson eFlora. Taxonomy ''Syrmatium'' belonged to a group of species traditionally placed in the tribe Loteae of the subfamily Faboideae. The taxonomy of this group is complex, and its division into genera has varied considerably. Many species of ''Syrmatium'' were formerly placed in a broadly defined genus '' Lotus''. A molecular phylogenetic study in 2000 based on nuclear ribosomal ITS sequences confirmed the view that the "New World" (American) and "Old World" (African and Eurasian) species of ''Lotus'' did not belong in the same genus.
