Genera

Caesalpinieae once included many more genera, but modern molecular phylogenetics indicated that these should be transferred to other clades.^{[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]} Caesalpinieae currently comprises the following genera:^[9]

Phylogenetics

Caesalpinia, as traditionally circumscribed, was paraphyletic, so it was recently recircumscribed to produce many new genera:^[9]

Caesalpinioideae	Cassieae (outgroup) Caesalpinieae Cordeauxia Stuhlmannia Lophocarpinia Haematoxylum Hererolandia Clade I Denisophytum Coulteria Tara Gelrebia Hultholia Guilandina Moullava Biancaea Ticanto[Note 1] Pterolobium Mezoneuron Paubrasilia Caesalpinia sensu stricto Clade II Cenostigma Stenodrepanum Hoffmannseggia Balsamocarpon Zuccagnia Libidibia Arquita Pomaria Erythrostemon

Notes

1. There is some evidence (see ^[9]) that Ticanto Adans. 1763 might be a valid genus, but it has not yet been formally reinstated as such.
