Description en: Genus of more than 12 species of deciduous or evergreen shrubs and trees from dry savannah or scrubland in the drier regions of Africa, S. North America, and Central America.

The branches have pairs of spines at each node, and bear alternate, 2- or 3-pinnate leaves with very small, light to mid- or yellow-green leaflets. The mostly yellow, red-spotted flowers, with spreading, clawed petals, are borne in short, usually axillary racemes from the upper leaf nodes, followed by leathery or woody, pea-like pods. Grow as specimen trees. In frost-prone areas, grow in a cool or temperate greenhouse.
