The Faboideae are a
subfamily of the
flowering plant family
Fabaceae or Leguminosae. An acceptable alternative name for the subfamily is Papilionoideae, or Papilionaceae when this group of plants is treated as a family.[4]
This subfamily is widely distributed, and members are adapted to a wide variety of environments. Faboideae may be
trees,
shrubs, or
herbaceous plants. Members include the
pea, the
sweet pea, the
laburnum, and other
legumes. The
pea-shaped flowers are characteristic of the Faboideae subfamily and
root nodulation is very common.
Genera
The type genus, Faba, is a
synonym of Vicia, and is listed here as Vicia.
Modern
molecular phylogenetics recommend a clade-based classification of Faboideae as a superior alternative to the traditional tribal classification of Polhill:[5][22][23][24][25]
