Baphiastrum

Baphiastrum is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, found in west Africa.[2] It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. Baphiastrum was traditionally assigned to the tribe Sophoreae;[3] however, recent molecular phylogenetic analyses reassigned Baphiastrum to the Baphieae tribe.[1][4]
