| Description | A taxonomic revision of the genus Sphenostylis E.Mey. (tribe Phaseoleae) in southern Africa is presented. The genus is distinguishable by its characteristic wedge-shaped, dorsiventrally flattened style tip. Of the seven known species in the genus, only two, S. angustifolia and S. marginata, occur in South Africa and Swaziland; and the former is endemic to these countries. The two species differ in the size, shape, and venation of the leaflets; as well as the length of the petiole, peduncle, and pod. A key to the two species is provided and the correct nomenclature, typification, and known geographical distributions are given. | |
