Sigmoidotropis
''Sigmoidotropis'' is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It includes eight species native to the tropical Americas, ranging from northern Mexico and the Caribbean islands to southern Brazil. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. Species in this genus were formerly considered to belong to the genus ''Vigna''. References

Sigmoidotropis Speciosa
''Sigmoidotropis speciosa'' is a leguminous flowering plant in the family Fabaceae that originates in tropical South America and Central America. Description The purple, non-fragrant, invasive flowers of the "''Phaseolus giganteus''" are said to have snail or snail-shell shaped flowers, hence the origin of the common name. The multicolored, fragrant, non-invasive flowers of the ''Cochliasanthus caracalla'' are said to have corkscrew or nautilus-shell shaped flowers, hence the origin of that common name. Though some claim that the leaves of one species are darker and differently sized compared to the leaves of the other, it is difficult to distinguish between these two plants through foliage alone. There have been multiple instances where both plants have been grown side by side for years and the discovery that they were not the same species was made only after the less mature plant finally bloomed. It is said that both plants are pollinated by ants so, without ants, the plant w ...

Vigna
''Vigna'' is a genus of plants in the legume family, Fabaceae, with a pantropical distribution.Aitawade, M. M., et al. (2012)Section ''Ceratotropis'' of subgenus ''Ceratotropis'' of ''Vigna'' (Leguminosae–Papilionoideae) in India with a new species from northern Western Ghats. ''Rheedea'' 22(1), 20-27. It includes some well-known cultivated species, including many types of beans. Some are former members of the genus ''Phaseolus''. According to ''Hortus Third'', ''Vigna'' differs from ''Phaseolus'' in biochemistry and pollen structure, and in details of the style and stipules. ''Vigna'' is also commonly confused with the genus '' Dolichos'', but the two differ in stigma structure. ''Vigna'' are herbs or occasionally subshrubs. The leaves are pinnate, divided into 3 leaflets. The inflorescence is a raceme of yellow, blue, or purple pea flowers. The fruit is a legume pod of varying shapes containing seeds.

Faboideae
The Faboideae are a subfamily of the flowering plant family Fabaceae or Leguminosae. An acceptable alternative name for the subfamily is Papilionoideae, or Papilionaceae when this group of plants is treated as a family. This subfamily is widely distributed, and members are adapted to a wide variety of environments. Faboideae may be trees, shrubs, or herbaceous plants. Members include the pea, the sweet pea, the laburnum, and other legumes. The pea-shaped flowers are characteristic of the Faboideae subfamily and root nodulation is very common. Genera The type genus, ''Faba'', is a synonym of ''Vicia'', and is listed here as ''Vicia''. *'' Abrus'' *'' Acmispon'' *'' Acosmium'' *'' Adenocarpus'' *'' Adenodolichos'' *'' Adesmia'' *'' Aenictophyton'' *'' Aeschynomene'' *'' Afgekia'' *'' Aganope'' *'' Airyantha'' *'' Aldina'' *'' Alexa'' *'' Alhagi'' *'' Alistilus'' *'' Almaleea'' *'' Alysicarpus'' *'' Amburana'' *'' Amicia'' *'' Ammodendron'' *'' Ammopiptanthus'' *'' Ammot ...

Phaseoleae
The plant tribe (biology), tribe Phaseoleae is one of the subdivisions of the legume subfamily Faboideae, in the unranked Non-protein amino acid-accumulating clade, NPAAA clade. This group includes many of the beans cultivated for human and animal food, most importantly from the Genus, genera ''Glycine (plant), Glycine'', ''Phaseolus'', and ''Vigna''. Taxonomy Although the tribe as defined in the late 20th century does not appear to be monophyletic, there does seem to be a monophyletic group which roughly corresponds to the tribe Phaseoleae (with some changes). The earlier concept of Phaseoleae is Paraphyly, paraphyletic relative to the tribes Abreae and Psoraleeae, plus most of Millettieae and parts of Desmodieae. The following subtribes and genera are recognized by the USDA: [follow tribe links and genera lists for the accepted genera in each tribe] ;Cajaninae * ''Adenodolichos'' Harms * ''Bolusafra'' Kuntze * ''Cajanus'' Adans. * ''Carrissoa'' Baker f. * ''Chrysoscias'' E. ...

American Journal Of Botany
The ''American Journal of Botany'' is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal which covers all aspects of plant biology. It has been published by the Botanical Society of America since 1914. The journal has an impact factor of 3.038, as of 2019. access is available through the publisher John Wiley & Sons ( Wiley). From 1951 to 1953, Oswald Tippo served as its editor; the current editor is Pamela Diggle. History In the early 20th century, the field of botany was rapidly expanding, but the publications in which botanists could publish remained limited and heavily backlogged. By 1905, it was estimated that 250,000 contributions were generated in 8 or 9 languages. At the 1911 annual meeting of the society in Washington D.C., it was noted that at least 300 pages of American botanical contributions were sent abroad for publication, with a backlog resulting in a one-year delay in publication. On 31 December 1907, the Botanical Society of America met in Chicago and formally recom ...
