Papilionaceae
(also Fabaceae), a family of dicotyledonous plants closely related to the family Leguminosae; the plants are often considered to be a subfamily of the Leguminosae. Of the many cosmopolitan species, trees and arboreal lianas are widespread in tropical regions and throughout the southern hemisphere; species growing in temperate regions primarily include herbs, subshrubs, and shrubs. The flowers are papilionaceous. The fruit is usually a typical bean. Many species of Papilionaceae are commercially valuable. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | Fruits and seeds of genera in the subfamily Faboideae (Fabaceae). From the position of the impression of the hypocotyl and plumule on the inner surface of the cotyledon, the notching of the cotyledon margin where the radicle was present before carbonization, and from the reniform shape of the cotyledon (FIGURE 2), one may infer that the specimens represent species of the subfamily Faboideae (Fabaceae), in which typically the embryonic axis is curved and the hilum marginal according to seed length (Delorit & Gunn 1986). A morphological phylogenetic analysis by Tucker and Douglas (1994) found that Faboideae and Mimosoideae were monophyletic but that Caesalpinioideae formed a grade, with the tribe Cassieae being polyphyletic. |
