The tribe Ormosieae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae, primarily found in tropical regions of the Americas, but also in southeast Asia and northern Australia.
[2][1][5] The members of this tribe consistently form a monophyletic clade in molecular phylogenetic analyses.
[1][6][7][8][9][10][11] The tribe does not currently have a node-based definition, but morphological synapomorphies have been tentatively identified: "mostly dehiscent pods with woody valves"[1] and "tufts of minute colleter-like glands in the axils of bract and bracteoles".
[1] Like other genistoids, members of tribe Ormosieae are known to produce quinolizidine alkaloids.
