Bowringia
Also called Tracheophytes
Bowringia is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family (Fabaceae), found in tropical Africa and southeastern Asia. It includes four species native to western and central Africa and Madagascar, and to Borneo, Indochina, and southern China.
Bowringia belongs to subfamily Faboideae. The genus was traditionally assigned to the tribe Sophoreae; however, recent molecular phylogenetic analyses reassigned Bowringia to the Baphieae tribe. It was named after Sir John Bowring and his son, J. C. Bowring for their botanical work in China.
