The genus '''''Securigera''''' contains a number of plant species commonly referred to as '''crownvetch'''. It is a segregate of the genus ''Coronilla''. The name ''Securigera'' was first published by A. P. de Candolle in 1805 with the single species ''Securigera coronilla'', which is now considered to be a synonym of ''Securigera securidaca'' {{au|(L.) Degen & Dörfl. (1897)}}, based on the earlier publication of the same taxon as ''Coronilla securidaca'' {{au|L.}} in 1753.<ref>{{GRIN | ''Securigera securidaca'' | 33465 | access-date = 23 January 2018}}</ref><ref name=Lasson>[https://www.jstor.org/stable/3996918 Per Lasson (1989) "A New Delimitation of the Genera ''Coronilla'', ''Hippocrepis'', and ''Securigera'' (Fabaceae)."
