Vernacular names

Calophaca is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae and is closely related to the genus Caragana.[1] One of the subtaxa of Calophaca is Calophaca sinica which has historically been known to be economically profitable, but as an effect of overexploitation is becoming less profitable.
