The Faboideae are a subfamily of the flowering plant family Fabaceae or Leguminosae. An acceptable alternative name for the subfamily is Papilionoideae, or Papilionaceae when this group of plants is treated as a family.<ref>Template:Citation, Article 19.7</ref>

This subfamily is widely distributed, and members are adapted to a wide variety of environments. Faboideae may be trees, shrubs, or herbaceous plants. Members include the pea, the sweet pea, the laburnum, and other legumes. The pea-shaped flowers are characteristic of the Faboideae subfamily and root nodulation is very common.

GeneraEdit

The type genus, Faba, is a synonym of Vicia, and is listed here as Vicia.

SystematicsEdit

Modern molecular phylogenetics recommend a clade-based classification of Faboideae as a superior alternative to the traditional tribal classification of Polhill:<ref name="Cardoso3" /><ref name="Cardoso4">Template:Cite journal</ref><ref>Template:Cite journal</ref><ref name="LPWG">Template:Cite journal</ref><ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
