Ingeae is a tribe of leguminous plants in the subfamily Mimosoideae of flowering plants in the pea family. They are neotropical trees and large trees in the legume family (Fabaceae). They grow from Mexico to Argentina. Most of the species can be found in the Amazon Basin and the Guyana Highlands. They have a deep-green fernlike foliage, with bipinnately compound leaves. Some species have lauroid type leaves. Some are spiny trees and shrubs found in subtropical and tropical regions of the Americas. The ripe pods eventually fall to the ground and are eaten by various mammals, thereby dispersing the seed. Britton & Rose (1928) divided the Ingeae into several smaller genera based on stipule characteristics, inflorescence type, leaf texture, mode of legume dehiscence, form of the fruit, and the presence of a seed aril. The majority of Nielsen’s work about ingeae was based on the Asian, Australasian and Pacific Ingeae and through his (Nielsen, 1981; Nielsen & al., 1983) and other author’s work as Kostermans in 1954; Mohlenbrock in 1963, and Kanis, in 1986.
Some tree species are used by their hardwood in others their fruits are pods that can be elongated, compressed, straight or curved, and may contain large amounts of sugar and are widely cultivated for its edible legumes, and as an ornamental tree in gardens. The seeds are used as animal and human feed.
