Dermatophyllum Scheele

Editorial Note

Treated by Bean under the genus Sophora, from which it has since been segregated. Distinguished by its coriaceous leaflets, flower colour (blue, violet or white), toothed or lobed calyces and North American distribution (Gandhi, Vincent & Reveal 2011).

We have published this stub genus article as part of a wider reorganisation of Fabaceae articles. This is part of a programme of work beginning in early 2025 to bring the nomenclature of articles in line with modern treatments. Historic Bean text will appear under its correct modern name, with appropriate synonymy, until we have funding to update the articles entirely.
