Monopteryx is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. Members of this genus produce hydroxypipecolic acids in their leaves.[4]
Monopteryx can be distinguished from other members of the Dipterygeae by the fact that:
the two adaxial sepals are almost completely united and cover the floral bud.[5]
