Zuccagnia

Wikipedia Abstract

Zuccagnia is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Caesalpinioideae. Plants grow to about 5m tall, have small leaflets with clearly visible punctate glands, yellow 5-merous flowers, and produce leathery, red-haired dehiscent pods bearing a single seed each. Thought to be monotypic, the sole species (the type) is Zuccagnia punctata, which is found in treeless, scrubby areas up to 2,700m, and native only to central Argentina and Chile.
