Phanera is a genus of flowering plants in the legume subfamily Cercidoideae and the tribe Bauhinieae. This genus differs 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 the Indomalayan realm and the Australasian realm rather than the Americas. The subsection Corymbosae was recently segregated into a new genus, Cheniella. It has been suggested that the genus Lasiobema should be reduced to a section within Phanera. Species Phanera comprises the following species: Phanera aherniana (Perkins) de Wit var. aherniana (Perkins) de Wit var. subglabra (Merr.) Bandyop., P.P. Goshal & M.K. Pathak Phanera andersonii (K.
