Butea and Meizotropis are small South Asian genera-comprising 2 species each. Meizotropis which has been merged under Butea as a section, is resurrected here as a distinct genus. It shows close resemblance with Butea from which it differs in habit, flowers, pollen, pods and seeds. Consequent on the separation of Meizotropis from Butea, a new combination Meizotropis pellita (Hook. f. ex Prain) Sanjappa has become necessary and is made. Keys and descriptions together with illustrations and distribution maps are given. Differences and similarities between Butea, Meizotropis and Spatholobus are also given.
