Finding the SObjectType from the SObjectField

by

As part of the implementation of an API, I would like to be able to find the SObjectType from the SObjectField:

public class MyClass {
    // Fields are from various SObjects
    public void myMethod(SObjectField[] fs) {
        for (SObjectField f : fs) {
            DescribeFieldResult dfr = f.getDescribe();
            SObjectType t = ...;
            ...;
        }
    }
}

but even in the describe results it does not appear to be present. Am I missing something?

Answer

I don’t believe this is possible currently. There’s no methods on Schema.SObjectField of Schema.DescribeFieldResult that link back to the SObjectType that field belongs to.
