the Fabaceae or Leguminosae, commonly known as the legume, pea, or bean family, are a large and economically important family of flowering plants. It includes trees, shrubs, and perennial or annual herbaceous plants, which are easily recognized by their fruit (legume) and their compound, stipulate leaves. Many legumes have characteristic flowers and fruits.
The family is widely distributed, and is the third-largest land plant family in number of species, behind only the Orchidaceae and Asteraceae, with about 751 genera and more than 20,000 known species.
The Fabaceae are placed in the order Fabales according to most taxonomic systems, including the APG III system. The family now includes six subfamilies:
Cercidoideae: 12 genera and ~335 species.
Detarioideae: 84 genera and ~760 species.
Duparquetioideae: 1 genus and 1 species.
Dialioideae: 17 genera and ~85 species.
Caesalpinioideae: 148 genera and ~4400 species.
Faboideae (Papilionoideae): 503 genera and ~14,000 species.
