The tribe Sophoreae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae. Traditionally this tribe has been used as a wastebasket taxon to accommodate genera of Faboideae which exhibit actinomorphic, rather than zygomorphic floral symmetry and/or incompletely differentiated petals and free stamens. [2] [3] [4] Various morphological [5] [6] [7] [8] and molecular [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] analyses indicated that Sophoreae as traditionally circumscribed was polyphyletic. [14] This led to a re-circumscription of Sophoreae, which resulted in the transfer of many genera to other tribes ( Amburaneae, Angylocalyceae, Baphieae, Camoensieae, the Cladrastis clade, Exostyleae, Leptolobieae, Ormosieae, Podalyrieae, and the Vataireoids). [2] This also necessitated the inclusion of two former tribes, Euchresteae and Thermopsideae, in the new definition of Sophoreae. [2] [15] [16] [17] [18] Tribe Sophoreae, as currently circumscribed, consistently forms a monophyletic clade in molecular phylogenetic analyses. [2] [12] [17] [19] [20] [21] [22] The Sophoreae arose 40.8 ± 2.4 million years ago (in the Eocene). [8] [23]
Description of morphological synapomorphies has yet to be undertaken, but members of this tribe can be distinguished by the relatively simple flowers, unspecialized pinnate leaves, accumulation of quinolizidine alkaloids, [24] and the presence of free stamens. [2] The tribe does have a node-based definition: the crown clade originating from the most recent common ancestor of Bolusanthus speciosus (Bolus) Harms and Sophora davidii (Franch.) Pavol.. [23]
