Fabaceae (legumes) |
Fabales is an order of flowering plants. Plants are living Organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae. The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group Magnoliopsida is the Botanical name for a class of Flowering plants By definition the class will include the family Magnoliaceae, but its Sir Edward Thomas ffrench Bromhead 2nd Baronet ( 26 March 1789 &ndash 14 March 1855) was a British landowner and Mathematician In Biological classification, family ( Latin Fabaceae or Leguminosae is a large and economically important family of Flowering plants which is commonly known as the legume family, pea The Polygalaceae ( syn Diclidantheraceae Moutabeaceae Xanthophyllaceaeor Milkwort family is a family of Flowering plants in the order Polygala is a genus of about 500 species of Flowering plants belonging to the family Polygalaceae, commonly known as milkwort or snakeroot This article is about the taxonomic rank for the sequence of species in a taxonomic list see Taxonomic order In scientific classification used The flowering plants or angiosperms ( Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta) are the most widespread group It is included in the rosid group of the eudicots in the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group II classification system. In the APG II system for the classification of the Angiosperms the name rosids refers to a Clade, meaning a Monophyletic group of plants Eudicots and Eudicotyledons are terms introduced by Doyle & Hotton (1991 to refer to a group of Flowering plants that had been called "tricolpates" or "non-Magnoliid In the APG II circumscription this order includes the families Fabaceae or legumes (including the subfamilies Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoideae, and Papilionoideae), Quillajaceae, Polygalaceae or milkworts (including the families Diclidantheraceae, Moutabeaceae, and Xanthophyllaceae), and Surianaceae. Fabaceae or Leguminosae is a large and economically important family of Flowering plants which is commonly known as the legume family, pea Caesalpinioideae is a Botanical name at the rank of Subfamily, placed in the large family Fabaceae or Leguminosae. As noted below in some classifications (eg the Cronquist system) "Mimosoideae" refers to what here is considered the tribe Mimoseae. Faboideae is a Subfamily of the Flowering plant family Fabaceae or Leguminosae The Polygalaceae ( syn Diclidantheraceae Moutabeaceae Xanthophyllaceaeor Milkwort family is a family of Flowering plants in the order The Polygalaceae ( syn Diclidantheraceae Moutabeaceae Xanthophyllaceaeor Milkwort family is a family of Flowering plants in the order The Polygalaceae ( syn Diclidantheraceae Moutabeaceae Xanthophyllaceaeor Milkwort family is a family of Flowering plants in the order The Polygalaceae ( syn Diclidantheraceae Moutabeaceae Xanthophyllaceaeor Milkwort family is a family of Flowering plants in the order Under the Cronquist system and some other plant classification systems, the order Fabales contains only the family Fabaceae. A system of plant taxonomy, the Cronquist system is a scheme for the classification of flowering plants (or Angiosperms) The other families treated in the Fabales by the APG II classification were placed in separate orders by Cronquist, the Polygalaceae within its own order, the Polygalales, and the Quillajaceae and Surianaceae within the Rosales. The Polygalaceae ( syn Diclidantheraceae Moutabeaceae Xanthophyllaceaeor Milkwort family is a family of Flowering plants in the order For other meanings see Rosales (disambiguation. Rosales is an order of Flowering plants including nine families
The Fabaceae, as the third largest plant family in the world, contains most of the diversity of the Fabales, the other families making up a comparatively small portion of the order's diversity. Research in the order is largely focused on the Fabaceae, due in part to its great biological diversity, and to its importance as food plants. The Polygalaceae is fairly well researched among plant families, in part due to the large diversity of the genus Polygala, and also due to members of the family, like the Fabaceae, being food plants for various Lepidoptera (butterfly and moth) species. Polygala is a genus of about 500 species of Flowering plants belonging to the family Polygalaceae, commonly known as milkwort or snakeroot Lepidoptera is an order of Insect that includes Moths and butterflies. A butterfly is an Insect of the order Lepidoptera. Like all Lepidoptera butterflies are notable for their unusual life cycle with a A moth is an Insect closely related to the Butterfly, both being of the order Lepidoptera. [1][2] While taxonomists using molecular phylogenetic techniques find strong support for the order, it should be noted that there remain questions about the morphological relationships of the Quillajaceae and Surianaceae to the rest of the order, due in part to limited research on these families.

The Fabales are a cosmopolitan order of plants, except that only the subfamily Papilionoideae (Faboideae) of the Fabaceae are well dispersed throughout the northern part of the North Temperate Zone. In Biogeography, a Biological category of living things is said to have cosmopolitan distribution if this category can be found almost anywhere around the world Faboideae is a Subfamily of the Flowering plant family Fabaceae or Leguminosae [4]
