Baphiastrum

Baphiastrum is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family (Fabaceae).

It includes a single species, Baphiastrum brachycarpum, a liana native to west-central Africa.

[2] It grows in Guineo-Congolian forest in Cameroon, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, and Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Baphiastrum was traditionally assigned to the tribe Sophoreae;[3] however, recent molecular phylogenetic analyses reassigned Baphiastrum to the Baphieae tribe.
