Crotalarieae Explained
Crotalarieae is a tribe of flowering plants belonging to the family Fabaceae. It includes rooibos (Aspalathus linearis), which is harvested for sale as a tisane.
Description
The Crotalarieae arose 31.2 ± 3.4 million years ago (in the Oligocene).[1] [2] The members of this tribe consistently form a monophyletic clade in molecular phylogenetic analyses.[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] The tribe does not currently have a node-based definition and no morphological synapomorphies have been identified. Several genera in the tribe produce quinolizidine alkaloids or macrocyclic pyrrolizidine alkaloids.[15] [16]
Genera
Crotalarieae comprises the following genera:[17] [18] [19] [20]
