Mimosoideae

As noted below, in some classifications (e.g. the Cronquist system), "Mimosoideae" refers to what here is considered the tribe Mimoseae.

Mimosoideae
Calliandra emarginata

Acacieae Ingeae Mimoseae Mimozygantheae [1]

Mimosoideae is a subfamily of the flowering plant family Fabaceae (alt. Leguminosae)^[2] characterized by flowers with small petals and numerous prominent stamens. This subfamily is subdivided into four tribes: Acacieae, Ingeae, Mimoseae, and Mimozygantheae.^[1]

Some classification systems, for example the Cronquist system, treat Fabaceae in a narrow sense, raising Mimisoideae to the rank of family as Mimosaceae. The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group treats Fabaceae in the broad sense.

Acacieae

• Acacia Mill. (presently being split up into several genera)
• Acaciella Britton & Rose
• Mariosousa Seigler & Ebinger
• Senegalia Raf.
• Vachellia Wight & Arn.^[3]
