| Dysolobium is a small legume genus, consisting of 4 species. It is closely related to Vigna, from which it differs by the shape of the wing petals and by the velvety, almost woody pods. Recently the genus has been divided into 2 subgenera, but in this paper the subgenus Dolichovigna is transferred back to Vigna. Possible relations between Dysolobium and genera as Vigna, Phaseolus, Canavalia, Dolichos, Psophocarpus, and Pueraria are discussed. Vigna seems to be the most closely related genus. Dysolobium is a Southeast Asian genus, two species of which are endemic and two more widespread; one of the latter ranges from India to Java (not extending more eastwards).

| Characteristic for the genus Mastersia are the indehiscent pods with seeds with elongated funicles. Within this genus only two species are recognized: M. assamica Benth. from Assam and M. bakeri (Koord.) Backer from Borneo, Celebes and the Moluccas. Both species are considered closely related; distinctive characters are found in the bracteoles, wing petals, keel petal and pod. Mastersia is placed within the Phaseoleae in the subtribe Glycininae-Glycinastrae. The distribution pattern of both species is discussed. |
