Calophaca is a genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. It includes nine species, which range from Ukraine through southern Russia and Central Asia to Xinjiang and Pakistan.[1] It belongs to the subfamily Faboideae and is closely related to the genus Caragana.[2] Nine species are accepted:[1]

* Calophaca chinensis Boriss.
* Calophaca grandiflora Regel
* Calophaca pskemica Gorbunova
* Calophaca reticulata Sumnev.
* Calophaca sericea B.Fedtsch. ex Boriss.
* Calophaca soongorica Kar. & Kir.
* Calophaca tianschanica (B.Fedtsch.) Boriss.
* Calophaca tomentosa Blatt. & Hallb.
* Calophaca wolgarica (L.f.) Pall. ex Fisch.

Caragana lidou, formerly known as Calophaca sinica, was economically profitable historically, but as an effect of overexploitation is becoming less profitable.[3]
