Desmodieae, is a monophyletic group in the paraphyletic Phaseoleae group in the family Fabaceae. Many genuses in this tribe contain high levels of Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory that are utilized as traditional medicine. Recent molecular studies have investigated the generic-level relationship of Desmodieae with related tribes but using individual genes is insufficient for understanding of its evolutionary relationships. Therefore, the chloroplast genome of Desmodium provide a rich information for phylogenetic characters that could gain deep insight into the evolutionary relationship among phaseoloid legumes in Fabaceae.
