Bryaspis is a small genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It includes two species of herbaceous plants native to equatorial West Africa and Cameroon.[1] It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae, and was recently assigned to the informal monophyletic Dalbergia clade of the Dalbergieae.[2][3] Typical habitats are seasonally dry tropical grassland and open areas, often growing in wet, swampy, rocky and sandy soil. Plants can be weeds on cultivated land.[1]
