*the fabales are an ‘order’ of ‘flowering plants’ included in the ‘rosid group’ of the ‘eudicots’ in the “angiosperm phylogeny group II classification system”*
.
(in the APG II circumscription, this order includes the families Fabaceae or legumes (including the subfamilies Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoideae, and Faboideae), Quillajaceae, Polygalaceae or milkworts (including the families Diclidantheraceae, Moutabeaceae, and Xanthophyllaceae), and ‘surianaceae’)
(under the ‘Cronquist’ system and some other plant classification systems, the order Fabales contains only the family ‘Fabaceae’)
(in the classification system of ‘Dahlgren’ the Fabales were in the superorder Fabiflorae (also called Fabanae) with three families corresponding to the subfamilies of Fabaceae in ‘APG II’)
(the other families treated in the Fabales by the APG II classification were placed in separate orders by Cronquist, the Polygalaceae within its own order, the Polygalales, and the Quillajaceae and Surianaceae within the ‘Rosales’)
(the ‘Fabaceae’, as the third-largest plant family in the world, contain most of the diversity of the Fabales, the other families making up a comparatively small portion of the order’s diversity)
(research in the order is largely focused on the ‘Fabaceae’, due in part to its great biological diversity, and to its importance as food plants)
(the ‘Polygalaceae’ are fairly well researched among plant families, in part due to the large diversity of the genus Polygala, and also due to members of the family, like the Fabaceae, being food plants for various Lepidoptera (butterfly and moth) species)
.
(while taxonomists using molecular phylogenetic techniques find strong support for the order, questions remain about the morphological relationships of the ‘quillajaceae’ and ‘surianaceae’ to the rest of the order, due in part to limited research on these families)
