Glycine is a genus of plants in the bean family Fabaceae, whose best-known species is the cultivated soybean. While most species in the genus are found only in Australia, the soybean's own native range lies in East Asia, with a few species extending from Australia to East Asia. Glycine species also serve as food plants for the larvae of some Lepidoptera, including the engrailed, nutmeg and turnip moths, all of which have been recorded feeding on soybean.
