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