Millettieae – Wikipedia

Posted on by

Millettieae is a tribus in the subfamily of the butterfly blossom (Faboideae) within the family of the legumes (Fabaceae). Their approximately 900 to 920 species mainly have occurrences in the tropics and subtropics worldwide. Only Callerya also reached moderate areas of China and Wisteria also occurs in moderate areas of the eastern Asia and North America. Some species and their varieties are used as ornamental plants.

Appearance and leaves [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

These are mostly woody plants that grow as shrubs, rarely trees or lianas. Only the genus Tephrosia Rarely contains one -year -old or often persistent herbaceous plants.

The opposite leaves consist of a padded leaf stick and a mostly unpaired leaf blade. On the Blattrhachis, the usually five to 15 (three to over forty) tags are usually opposite in pairs, they rarely be alternating; Sometimes reduced except for a leaflet. The secondary leaves often drop early; Sidelines of the Pet leaves can be present.

Flower stands and flowers [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

The inflorescences are built very differently, but they are not extended grapes; The flowers are formed into several and these bundle are summarized in pseudo -loose or pseudo -Dorist total petitions. Sometimes the inflorescences stand on leafless branches or directly on the main stem. There are mostly cover leaves.

The hermaphrodite flowers are zygomorphic and fifteen with a double flower cover (perianth). The five goblet leaves are overgrown and trimmed or end with four to five goblets. The flower crown has the typical structure of the butterfly blossoms. The flags can have calluses on their base. The wings are free or are more or less adhered to on the boat. The dust threads of the nine or all ten stamens are overgrown with each other. The dust bags are sometimes hairy. Usually there is a tube disc. The only overhead fruits contains one to twelve spherical systems.

Fruits and seeds [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

The sometimes angular legumes have woody or paper -like flaps and open up or stay closed. The differently shaped seeds have a hard or woody seed shell (testa).
