Dioclea (plant)

Dioclea is a genus of flowering plants in the pea family, Fabaceae, that is native to the Americas.

A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2020 showed that when broadly circumscribed, Dioclea was not monophyletic.

Many species were transferred to the genus Macropsychanthus.

[2] As of August 2021[update], Plants of the World Online accepted the following species:[1] Species transferred to Macropsychanthus include: The A-type proanthocyanidin, epigallocatechin-(2β→7,4β→8)-epicatechin, together with epicatechin, luteolin 3′β-d-glucopyranoside, chrysoeriol 7β-d-glucopyranoside and 2-methylpentan-2,4-diol, can be found in the leaves of Dioclea lasiophylla.
