Sesbania Adanson, Fam. pl. 2: 327. 1763, nomen conserv. (as Sesban, but corrected to Sesbania by Scopoli, Intr. hist. nat. 308. 1777; see Gillett 1963). TYPE: Sesbania sesban (L.) Merrill. A sectional classification of the genus Sesbania is adapted from Lavin and Sousa S. (1995) and revised and updated using information produced since that study. We arrive at a classification of all species of Sesbania into just three sections (Fig. 5).
