Lasiobema Explained

Lasiobema was a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae, most of which are lianas, belonging to the subfamily Cercidoideae.^[1] It was recently (2010) synonymized with Phanera on the basis of morphology,^[2] although this was questioned^[3] and it can be treated as a section of this genus.
