Phanera is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the sub family Caesalpinioideae. It is sometimes included in the genus Bauhinia. They differ from Bauhinia in being vines or lianas, generally with tendrils and a lobed rather than spathaceous calyx, and from Schnella in having only three fertile stamens rather than ten, and being native to Asia and Australasia rather than the Americas.[3][4]
