The Desmodium group is one of the three groups in the tribe Desmodieae distinguished by their lomentaceous fruits, trifoliolate leaves, presence of stipels, and hooked hairs. Due to recent generic circumscription in the Desmodium group, a taxonomic synopsis of the Nigerian members of Desmodium s.l. is presented, including an updated checklist, diagnostic characters, morphological descriptions, and distribution records. The Nigerian taxa of the Desmodium s.l. comprise six genera and nineteen species, of which six species are insufficiently known. Grona and Desmodium each include seven species, while Pleurolobus includes two species. The genera Sohmaea, Polhillides, and Hylodesmum are each represented by a single species. This synopsis aims to consolidate the available taxonomic information on the nineteen species and provide a foundation for future studies on the taxonomic revision, diversity, ecology, and conservation of the tribe Desmodieae in Nigeria.
