The Fabaceae or Papilionoideae,commonly known as the legume, pea, or bean family, is a large and economically important family of flowering plants. It includes trees, shrubs, and perennial or annual herbaceous plants, which are easily recognized by their fruit (legume) and their compound, stipulated leaves. Many legumes have characteristics of flowers and fruits. The family is widely distributed, and is the third-largest land plant family in terms of number of species, behind only the Orchidaceae and Asteraceae, with about 751 genera and some 19,000 known species
The Fabaceae family includes a number of important agricultural and food plants, including Glycine max (soybean), Phaseolus(beans), Pisum sativum (pea), Cicer arietinum(chickpeas), Medicago sativa (alfalfa), Arachis hypogaea (peanut), Ceratonia siliqua (carob), and Glycyrrhiza glabra (liquorice). A number of species are also weedy pests in different parts of the world, including: Cytisus scoparius(broom), Robinia pseudoacacia (black locust), Ulex europaeus (gorse), Pueraria lobata(kudzu), and a number of Lupinus species.
