See text The tribe Indigofereae is a subdivision of the plant family Fabaceae.

It is consistently recovered as a monophyletic clade in molecular phylogenies.

[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][4][15][16][17][18][19][excessive citations] The Indigofereae arose 30.0 ± 3.3 million years ago (in the Oligocene).

[20] This tribe does not currently have a node-based, phylogenetic definition, but it can be distinguished by the following morphological synapomorphies: the presence of biramous hairs, keel spurs, short free staminal filaments, and short fruiting pedicels; and the loss of stipels and seed arils.

[3] Indigofereae comprises the following genera:[2][3][21][22] Modern molecular phylogenetics suggest the following relationships:[3] Millettioids (outgroup) Phylloxylon Palaeotropical Clade Pantropical Clade Cape Clade Tethyan Clade Cyamopsis Indigastrum Rhynchotropis Microcharis
