Crotalarieae is a tribe of flowering plants belonging to the family Fabaceae. It includes rooibos (Aspalathus linearis), harvested for sale as a tisane.
The Crotalarieae arose 31.2 ± 3.4 million years ago (in the Oligocene).[3][4] The members of this tribe consistently form a monophyletic clade in molecular phylogenetic analyses.[3][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] The tribe does not currently have a node-based definition and no morphological synapomorphies have been identified.[5][7] Several genera in the tribe produce quinolizidine alkaloids or macrocyclic pyrrolizidine alkaloids.[12][17][18]
Crotalarieae comprises the following genera:[19][20][21][22]
