The tribe Angylocalyceae is one of the subdivisions of the plant family Fabaceae. It was recently circumscribed to include the following genera, which formerly were placed in tribe Sophoreae:[1][2][3][4]

This clade does not currently have a node-based, phylogenetic definition, but it can be distinguished by the following morphological synapomorphy: "an ornithophilous floral syndrome in which the calyx and hypanthium are enlarged, the petals thickened and often red or orange, the standard often distinctly large, the lower petals undifferentiated or sometimes highly reduced, and the stamens and gynoecium exserted."[1][3]
