Biology:Grimolobium
From HandWiki
Grimolobium is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae. It includes eight species native to South America.[1]
Species in the genus were formerly placed in genus Otholobium, which included both South American and African species. A phylogenetic analysis published in 2024 found that the South American species formed a distinct clade, and the new genus Grimolobium was described to include them. The genus is named in honor of James Grimes, a botanist who did distinguished work on New World species in tribe Psoraleeae.[1]
