Amorpheae

Purple prairie clover Dalea purpurea, copyright Peganum.

Belongs within: Papilionoideae.

The Amorpheae are a group of primarily North American temperate leguminous plants united by punctate glands throughout the plant body, indehiscent, single-seeded fruits, and terminal inflorescences. Many species also produce radially symmetrical or non-papilionate flowers (Cardoso et al. 2013).
