Styphnolobium Schott

Editorial Note

Styphnolobium is a genus of nine species from southeastern North America, Central America, and East Asia. It was previously included in Sophora, from which it has been segregated on account of its bracteoles, stipels and non-dehiscent fruit (Sousa & Rudd 1993).

Bean treated species now included in Styphnolobium under the old genus Sophora s.l.

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.
