Erophaca is a monotypic genus of the tribe Galegeae. Its only species, Erophaca baetica, is a perennial plant distributed in disjunct populations in the Mediterranean Region.[1]
According to nrDNA ITS analysis, Erophaca is monophyletic and related to the Astragalean clade. It is also andromonoecious (a rare sexual system among the angiosperms and a novelty for Old World papilionoid legumes).[2][3]
Erophaca baetica has two subspecies distributed at opposite ends of the Mediterranean region:
- E. baetica subsp. baetica: Native to the southern half of the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain) and Northwest Africa (Morocco and Algeria).
- E. baetica subsp. orientalis: Native to the Eastern Mediterranean (Greece, Turkey, Cyprus and Lebanon).
Some populations in Algeria were found to be hybrids of the two subspecies.
