Appearance and leaves

There are year to perennial herbaceous plants , which often become woody something, or there are half bushes to bushes .

The alternate and mostly two-line leaves are stalked. The unpaired or finger-shaped pinnate leaf blades usually have three or five to many, rarely only one or two leaflets. The leaflets are always entire. The leaf blades are rarely simple and can then be lobed. The stipules are free or fused with the base of the petioles and often have glands that are reduced to glands.

Inflorescences and flowers

The flowers are usually laterally over more or less long Blütenstandsschäften in doldigen or capitate part inflorescences that are rarely reduced to solitary flowers. Herbaceous bracts may be present. The bracts are usually small and inconspicuous and are typically (if this is the case with the stipules) converted to glands or may be missing. Cover sheets are usually missing.

The hermaphrodite flowers are zygomorphic and five-fold with a double flower envelope . The five sepals are fused bell-shaped or tubular. The five petals stand together in the shape typical of butterflies . The flag narrows towards the bottom or is nailed and can have thickened inwardly folded edges. Of the ten stamens , nine have grown together like tubes, one is free or is connected to the others to form a closed tube during development. The stamens widen upwards. The dust bags are all the same. The single carpel is on top. The style is smooth or papilose , usually bald along its entire length, but sometimes hairy around the scar tissue.

Fruits and seeds

The legumes open at maturity zweiklappig or remain closed or broken in closed constant or opening parts. The seeds have a smooth surface.

The Tribus Loteae was established in 1825 by Augustin Pyrame de Candolle in Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis , 2, p. 214. A synonym for Loteae DC. is Coronilleae Adans. The earlier tribe Coronilleae was incorporated into the tribe Loteae s. l. incorporated.

Per Lassen worked on the sub- tribus Coronillinae in 1989 , rearranging and delimiting the genera Coronilla , Hippocrepis and Securigera . For example, the crown vetch Coronilla emerus L. was placed in the genus Hippocrepis as Hippocrepis emerus (L.) Lassen .

There are 16 to 18 genera with about 270 species in the tribe Loteae:

Wundklee ( Anthyllis L. , Syn .: Acanthyllis Pomel , Aspalathoides (DC.) K. Koch , Cornicina Boiss. ): The approximately 24 to 30 species are distributed in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.

- Antopetitia abyssinica A.Rich. : It occurs in Africa.
Crown vetch ( Coronilla L. ) (Syn .: Artrolobium Desv. , Bonaveria Scop. ): The nine or so species are distributed in Europe, Western Asia and northeastern Africa.

Dorycnopsis Boiss. : It contains about two types:
- Dorycnopsis abyssinica (A.Rich.) VNTikhom. & DDSokoloff:: It occurs in Ethiopia, northern Somalia and Sudan.
- Dorycnopsis gerardi (L.) Boiss. (Syn .: Anthyllis gerardi L. ): Your home is Morocco, the Iberian Peninsula , France, Corsica, Sardinia and Italy.
