Leucomphalos

Leucomphalos is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, found in west Africa.[2] It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. Leucomphalos was traditionally assigned to the tribe Sophoreae;[3] however, recent molecular phylogenetic analyses reassigned Leucomphalos to the Baphieae tribe.[1][4][5][6]
