Wisterieae
Wisterieae is a tribe of flowering plants in the bean family Fabaceae. The tribe was first described in 1994 for the sole genus ''Wisteria'', but was greatly expanded in 2019 to include 13 genera, six of which were new. Five had previously been placed in the tribe Millettieae. Members of the tribe are climbers of various kinds. Some, like ''Wisteria'', are cultivated for their flowers. Description Members of the tribe Wisterieae are either woody lianas or sprawling climbing shrubs. All species have their flowers arranged in either true panicles or true racemes (as opposed to pseudopanicles or pseudoracemes). The tribe belongs to the Inverted repeat-lacking clade; all genera lack one 25 kilobase long copy of the inverted repeat in the chloroplast genome, distinguishing them from genera in the tribe Millettieae, which do not lack this inverted repeat. Taxonomy The tribe was established in 1994 by X. Y. Zhu, based on features of ''Wisteria'' pollen. Most older genera that are now ...
