Description

Appearance and leaves

It is in the species of the subfamily Mimosoideae mostly evergreen or deciduous woody plants: trees and shrubs; rarely there are one-, two-year or perennial herbaceous plants. They usually grow independently erect or rarely climbing. You can be helophytisch mesophytisch or xerophytic. They may contain resin. Sometimes the shoot axes take on the task of photosynthesis.

In some species occurs Heterophyllie. The alternate and spirally arranged or distichous leaves are usually well developed, sitting up stalked or rarely reduced. The leaf blades of the well-developed leaves are pinnate simple or often two-fold. The pinnate leaf blades may contain many leaflets or sometimes just two. The leaflets can be herbaceous, leathery or fleshy. The leaf surfaces may be dotted with glandular. Sometimes the leaves are converted to phyllodes or thorns. There are usually tough to early falling stipules present; they can be reduced foliage leaf-like or spines, glands to shed.

Inflorescences, flowers and fruits

The flowers are borne in inflorescences differently constructed to many. They are characterized mostly by radiärsymmetrische, ( three to six ) usually fivefold flowers, which are usually bisexual, rarely unisexual. The most numerous (3 to 100) stamens are often grown together and often extend beyond the crown. The stamens can all be fertile or part is transformed into staminodes. There is usually only one carpel present in a few genera there are two to 16 carpels. There legumes are usually formed.

Ecology

Nitrogen fixation occurs frequently.

Pollination is in many ways: anemophily, entomophily, Ornithophilie or Chiropterophilie.

System

The subfamily Mimosoideae was formerly known as independent family Mimosaceae R.Br. considered.

The subfamily Mimosoideae is divided into three tribes and includes 79 to 82 genera with about 3275 species:
