Faboideae

Sweet pea ( Lathyrus odoratus )

The Fabaceae ( Faboideae ) are a species-rich subfamily of the legume family ( Fabaceae ). In this subfamily, there are many species which are used in different ways by the human. There are a variety of reports on interactions between species and species of this subfamily. Through the nodule bacteria are important to many ecosystems, but also for agricultural soil as green manure.

Description

Overall, these species-rich subfamily of the Fabaceae ( Faboideae ) is very different diverse and there may be few common traits are mentioned.

Vegetative characteristics

There are woody plants: trees, shrubs and some vines; or there are herbaceous plants: annual to perennial.

The leaves are usually arranged opposite one another. Feathery leaves are regarded as primitive, this can be paired or unpaired: It occurred, however, numerous modifications and metamorphosis, for example: trifoliate ( clover) or leaved ( tragacanth ). Stipules ( stipules ) are present and often important particulars to genus and species level, because they are very diverse: from durable to quickly perishable, from tiny to strikingly large they can grow together with petioles more or less strong and there are many forms. The stipules can be pricks reshuffled his (Robinia ) or accept leaf function because leaves on tendrils transformed ( Lathyrus aphaca ) are.

Inflorescences and flowers

The flowers are arranged in racemose inflorescences, which may be so tight even that little head -like inflorescences emerge.

The characteristic feature of the butterfly flower is the formation of the hermaphrodite, zygomorphic, five petals. There are five ( but often four) sepals. In general, there are five petals. The middle upper petal is often enlarged and bent upward (right slightly darker reddish). It is called " Flag". The two lower petals are fused together or at least glued together and form a keeled, boat- like, often at the top of upturned tube, the " boat ". In this the stamens and the carpel are consisting of ovary, style and stigma. The two lateral petals eventually form next to the boat, the so-called "wings". Often they envelop the boat completely. We call this type of flower a " butterfly flower". The number of stamens is ten ( often nine or five). The stamens are fused except one, which is free with each other. The flowers of the formula is Faboideae or, of which there are numerous variations in genera or species.

Fruits

The legume their name from the " legume ", a type of fruit, which occurs only in this family.

  • Different shapes in legumes

Phaseoleae: Canavalia cathartica

Sesbanieae: Sesbania grandiflora

Sophoreae: Sophora secundiflora

Trifolieae: Medicago granadensis

Distribution and systematics

The subfamily includes about 420 genera and more than 12,000 species. They come from the tropics to the arctic regions. However, they prefer dry areas or at least areas with a pronounced annual dry season. Most types are available in the temperate latitudes of the northern hemisphere.

Velva Elaine Rudd (1910-1999) introduced the name Faboideae. Type genus Faba 's Mill, now a synonym of Vicia L.. An alternative name for Faboideae Rudd is Papilionoideae Juss ..
