From: An analysis of synteny of Arachis with Lotus and Medicago sheds new light on the structure, stability and evolution of legume genomes

Figure 1

A tree represention of the phylogeny of the Papilionoids with triangles representing the major clades, and the two subclades of the Galegoids; the Robinioids and the IRLC (plastid DNA Inverted Repeat Lacking Clade). Names of some notable genera are placed within the triangles. Note that Arachis which is a member of the Dalbergioids, represents a more basally diverged Papilionoid than the Galegoid legumes, and therefore serves as an out-group to a Lotus vs. Medicago comparison. The figure is a simplified and stylized phylogeny based on a tree in [2].
