Appearance and leaves

They are perennial herbaceous plants , shrubs or trees . The parts of the plant are sometimes covered with glandular hairs ( trichomes ).

The alternate leaves consist of a petiole and a leaf blade. The petiole is padded. The leaf blade is pinnate in pairs or unpaired. The leaflets are more or less opposite to each other on the rachis. There may be narrow stipules , sometimes they are transformed into spines or they are missing. There are also often stipules of the leaflets present.

Inflorescences and flowers

Lateral, single or multiple, mostly hanging, racemose inflorescences are formed in the leaf axils . The membranous bracts fall out early.

The hermaphrodite flowers are zygomorph are fünfzählig double perianth (perianth). The five sepals are bell-shaped, sometimes fused with two lips; of the calyx teeth, two are more or less fused together. The corolla has the typical structure of the Pea family with five petals . The flag often has appendages at its base. The wings are not fused with the shuttle. Of the ten stamens , one is free or they are all fused together, but rarely form a closed tube. The anthers are all more or less the same. The only upper carpel usually contains a few to many, rarely only two to one ovules .

Fruits and seeds

The woody to thin-leathery, two-lobed legumes rarely contain only one, usually a few or many seeds and are rarely septate between them. The seeds are broadly ovate or oblong and flat.

distribution

The original range is in the New World. A particularly large number of species are native to Central and western South America.

Systematics

The tribe Robinieae was set up in 1820 by Friedrich von Berchtold and Jan Svatopluk Presl in O přirozenosti rostlin aneb rostlinář:… , p. 229.

The tribe Robinieae contains about eleven genera and about 70 species in the New World :

  • Coursetia DC. (Syn .: Benthamantha Alef. , Callistylon Pittier , Chiovendaea Speg. , Cracca Benth. , Humboldtiella Harms , Neocracca Kuntze ): The almost 40 species are common in the New World.
  • Genistidium I.M.Johnst. : There is only one type:
  • Gliricidia Kunth : The only two kinds are common in the Neotropic . Including:
    • Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Walp. : It is grown in the tropical belt.
  • Lifting stigma Urb. : There is only one type:
  • Lennea Klotzsch : The only three types are common in Central America.
  • Olneya A.Gray : There is only one type:
  • Petteria A.Gray : The four or so species are distributed from the USA to Mexico, including, for example:
  • Poissonia Baill. : The four or so species are distributed in Peru, Bolivia and Argentina.
  • Poitea Vent. (Syn .: Bembicidium Rydb. , Corynella DC. , Notodon Urb. , Sabinea DC. , Sauvallella Rydb. , Vilmorinia DC. ): There are about 13 species.
  • Robinia ( Robinia L. ): The four (to ten) species are distributed from North to Central America.
  • Sphinctospermum Rose : There is only one species:
