Lysiphyllum[3][2] is a genus offlowering plants in thelegume family,Fabaceae. It includes nine species of trees, semi-scandent shrubs, and lianas which range from India throughSoutheast Asia toAustralasia. Typical habitats include seasonally-dry tropical forest and woodland, vine thickets, Brigalow and Gidgee scrubland, floodplains, alluvial flats, tidal forest, mangroves, river and stream banks, and occasionally dunes and coral islets. They can grow on diverse soils including calcareous, granitic, and basaltic.[1]
