Dimereilla

Dimereilla is a genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae, commonly known as the pea family. The genus is native to the Americas, with species found from Mexico south to Argentina. Plants in the genus Dimereilla are typically herbaceous perennials, though some species can be shrubs. They are characterized by their compound leaves, which are usually pinnately compound, and their flowers, which are typically yellow or orange and borne in racemes or panicles. The fruits are legumes, which are characteristic of the Fabaceae family.

Dimereilla species are often found in disturbed habitats, such as roadsides, fields, and pastures. They are also common in open woodlands and savannas. The genus is considered to be of ecological importance in its native range, as it provides food and habitat for a variety of wildlife. Some species are also used for medicinal purposes by indigenous peoples.

The taxonomy of Dimereilla has been subject to revision over the years, with some species formerly included in the genus now placed in other genera. Further research may lead to additional taxonomic changes. The genus Dimereilla is a relatively small genus, with only a few currently recognized species.
