Camoensia is a genus of 2 species of lianas in the family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae, native to the Gulf of Guinea, Africa. C. scandens is cultivated as an ornamental plant; it has one of the largest leguminous flowers, up to 20 cm across.[3] The genus has classically been assigned to the tribe Sophoreae,[4] but was recently assigned to its own monophyletic tribe, Camoensieae, on the basis of molecular phylogenetic evidence.[1][2][5][6] Species of Camoensia are known to produce quinolizidine alkaloids, consistent with their placement in the genistoid clade.[4][7]
