Tribe Wisterieae Zhu, Cathaya 6: 115-124 (1994)

≡ Subtribe Wisteriinae Endl. Gen. Pl.: 1296 (1840) [as Subtribe Wisterieae ].

Type.

Wisteria Nutt., Gen. Amer. Pl. 2: 115 (1818) nom. cons. ≡ Glycine frutescens L., Sp. Pl. 1(2): 753 (1753).

Note.

The Tribe Wisterieae is distinguished by comprising woody lianas or sprawling scandent shrubs. All species have bracts that in the most part enclose immature buds at the apex of inflorescences and all bear either true panicles or true racemes as opposed to pseudopanicles and pseudoracemes. The tribe is further distinguished from Tribe Millettieae by all genera lacking one 25 kb long copy of the inverted repeat in the chloroplast genome.
