Luetzelburgia (common names include sucupira and angelim) is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae.
It includes 14 species of trees and shrubs native to Brazil, Bolivia, and Colombia.
Typical habitat is seasonally-dry tropical lowland woodland and wooded grassland, and occasionally lowland rain forests.
[5] The genus belongs to the subfamily Faboideae.
It was traditionally assigned to the tribe Sophoreae, mainly on the basis of flower morphology;[6] recent molecular phylogenetic analyses assigned Luetzelburgia into an informal, monophyletic clade called the "vataireoids".
