Mimosoideae are a subfamily of the flowering plant family Fabaceae (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. (in the strict sense, more or less only the previous subgenus Phyllodineae)[3]
- Acaciella Britton & Rose
- Mariosousa Seigler & Ebinger
- Senegalia Raf.
- Vachellia Wight & Arn.[4]
Ingeae

Mimoseae
The lead tree, Leucaena leucocephala, is used for fiber and livestock fodder.
