The
tribeBaphieae is one of the subdivisions of the plant
familyFabaceae. The Baphieae tribe arose 55.3 ± 0.4 million years ago (in the early
Eocene).[3]
This clade does not currently have a node-based,
phylogenetic definition. Members of the Baphieae exhibit the following
synapomorphies:
…free
stamens and poorly differentiated lower
petals, or flowers sometimes appearing radially symmetrical,…simple or unifoliolate
leaves,
anthers more or less basifixed, and the calyx splitting to the base either down one side only and so appearing spathaceous, or down both sides and so becoming bilabiate.[7][8]
