Astragaleae

Belongs within: Hologalegina.
Contains: Oxytropis, Astragalus, Carmichaelieae.

The Astragaleae are a group of legumes bearing non-glandular leaves and fruits that are longitudinally septate, at least in part, by the intrusion of the seed-bearing suture. Phylogenetic analysis indicates they are paraphyletic to the New Zealand brooms of the Carmichaelieae (Heenan 1998).
