Leucomphalos is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It contains a single species, Leucomphalos capparideus, a climbing perennial shrub native to the Guineo-Congolian forest of Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and the Gulf of Guinea Islands.[2][3] It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae. Leucomphalos was traditionally assigned to the tribe Sophoreae;[4] however, recent molecular phylogenetic analyses reassigned Leucomphalos to the Baphieae tribe.[5][6][7][8]
