Fabales

The order Fabales Bromhead, including Leguminosae (= Fabaceae Lindl.), Polygalaceae Hoffmanns. & Link, Quillajaceae D. Don, and Surianaceae Arn., is a group that emerged from angiosperm phylogenies based on DNA sequence data (e.g. Chase et al. 1993 ; APG 2003 ). Fabales is part of eurosids I and together with Fagales, Cucurbitales, and Rosales forms the “nitrogen-fixing clade”

Quillajaceae and Surianaceae are relatively species-poor lineages compared with Leguminosae and Polygalaceae, and their floral morphology and development are unusual within Fabales

Recently Leguminosae is divided in six subfamilies Cercidoideae Detarioideae Duparquetioideae dialioideade Caesalpinioideae and Papilionoideae
