The genus Tylosema is in the plant family Fabaceae.
There are four documented species within the genus Tylosema:
- T. esculentum (Burch.), Schreiber - Marama bean
- T. fassoglensis
- T. argentea (Chiov.) Brenan
- T. humifusa (Pichi-Serm. and Roti-Michel) Brenan
Tylosema, in the tribe Cercideae, has been little investigated but heterostyly, unknown elsewhere in the Fabaceae, has been reported in all four species.
