Genus of legumes
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.[ 5] The genus has classically been assigned to the tribe Sophoreae ,[ 6] but was recently assigned to its own monophyletic tribe, Camoensieae, on the basis of molecular phylogenetic evidence.[ 1] [ 2] [ 7] [ 8] Species of Camoensia are known to produce quinolizidine alkaloids , consistent with their placement in the genistoid clade .[ 6] [ 9]
