'''''Sophora''''' is a [[genus]] of about 45 [[species]] of small [[tree]]s and [[shrub]]s in the pea [[family (biology)|family]] Fabaceae. The species are native to southeast Europe, southern Asia, Australasia, various Pacific islands, western South America, the western United States,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=SONU&photoID=sose8_001_avd.tif |title=PLANTS Profile Sophora nuttalliana B.L.

'''''Sophora''''' is a [[genus]] of about 45 [[species]] of small [[tree]]s and [[shrub]]s in the pea [[family (biology)|family]] Fabaceae. The species have a [[pantropical]] distribution.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=SONU&photoID=sose8_001_avd.tif |title=PLANTS Profile Sophora nuttalliana B.L.

The genus formerly had a broader interpretation including many other species now treated in other genera, notably ''[[Styphnolobium]]'' ([[Styphnolobium japonicum|pagoda tree]] genus), which differs in lacking [[nitrogen fixation|nitrogen fixing]] bacteria ([[rhizobia]]) on the roots, and ''[[Dermatophyllum]]'' (the mescalbeans). ''Styphnolobium'' has [[galactomannan]]s as seed [[polysaccharide]] reserve, in contrast ''Sophora'' contains [[arabinogalactan]]s, and ''Dermatophyllum'' [[amyloid]].

Sophora is a genus of about 45 species of small trees and shrubs in the pea family Fabaceae. The species have a pantropical distribution.[4][5] The generic name is derived from sophera, an Arabic name for a pea-flowered tree.[6]

The genus formerly had a broader interpretation including many other species now treated in other genera, notably Styphnolobium (pagoda tree genus), which differs in lacking nitrogen fixing bacteria (rhizobia) on the roots, and Dermatophyllum (the mescalbeans). Styphnolobium has galactomannans as seed polysaccharide reserve, in contrast Sophora contains arabinogalactans, and Dermatophyllum amylose.

The New Zealand Sophora species are known as kowhai.[7]

The seeds of species such as Sophora affinis and Sophora chrysophylla are reported to be poisonous.[8]

Fossil record

[edit]

One Sophora fossil seed pod from the middle Eocene epoch has been described from the Miller clay pit in Henry County, Tennessee, United States.[9]
