Aeschynomene:

Aeschynomene is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae, and was recently assigned to the informal monophyletic Dalbergia clade of the Dalbergieae.[1][2] They are known commonly as jointvetches. These legumes are most common in warm regions and many species are aquatic. The genus as currently circumscribed is paraphyletic and it has been suggested that the subgenus Ochopodium be elevated to a new genus within the Dalbergeae, though other changes will also be required to render the genus monophyletic.[2][3][1][4]

Species[edit]

Aeschynomene comprises the following species:[5][6]

Description:

Usually a slender shrub but occasionally a small tree. Plants aromatic. Stems covered with short glandular hairs. Leaves up to c. 8 cm long, pinnate, 8-32-foliolate; petiole and rhachis with short glandular hairs. Leaflets linear-oblong, 3-18 mm long, slightly subcordate at the base, mostly hairless; stipules conspicuous but quickly deciduous, ovate to oblong-lanceolate, 7-22 mm long. Flowers in many-flowered racemes in the axils of the upper leaves, together often appearing as a branched terminal inflorescence; peduncles and pedicels with short glandular hairs. Calyx reddish, 2-lipped; one lip more or less entire, the other 3-fid. Standard yellow or orange-yellow with red veining, broadly elliptic, 10-16 cm long; wings orange-yellow, paler at the base, with red streaks at the apex; keel pale yellow. Fruit with 3-7 semicircular articles, up to 8 × 6 mm, joined by narrow necks, covered with short, glandular hairs.
