Macropsychanthus is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the tribe Diocleae, subfamily Faboideae.[3] The genus has 47 species with a pantropical distribution, ranging through the tropical Americas from southern Mexico to northeastern Argentina, west and central Africa, Madagascar, Indochina, Malesia, Papuasia, and Queensland.[2]

Taxonomy

[edit]

Many species of Dioclea were transferred to the genus Macropsychanthus as a result of a molecular phylogenetic study published in 2020.[4]
