Serawaia
genus of plants
Serawaia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae, first established in 2019. Its only species is Serawaia strobilifera, endemic to Borneo. The species was first described in 1994 as Callerya strobilifera.
Description
Serawaia strobilifera is a twining vine scrambling up trees and river banks to a height of 8 m (26 ft). Its stems are white or very pale grey. Its leaves are evergreen and generally have 2–3 pairs of leaflets plus a terminal leaflet. The erect inflorescence consists of a slightly branched panicle 12–20 cm (5–8 in) long. Individual flowers are 15–21 mm (0.6–0.8 in) long and have the general shape of members of the subfamily Faboideae. Uniquely in the tribe Wisterieae, they are golden yellow in colour. The standard petal is 15–18 mm (0.6–0.7 in) long by 11–17 mm (0.4–0.7 in) wide, lemon or golden yellow, with a yellow nectar guide.

Why this record matters
“Serawaia” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Serawaia, genus and plants provides the most credible route into that argument.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 26, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q94002058. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2019 and 1994.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
