3 Subfamilies based on floral type: Papilionoideae (Faboideae) flowers are typical pea/ “Flag” flowers:
bilaterally symmetric conspicuous petal = banner for attraction 2 wings (that form a landing platform) 2 lower petals fused to form a “keel” (which encloses stamens & carpel) diadelphous stamens (9 fused + 1 free) [di = two]
Mimosoideae flowers are called “brush” flowers
radially symmetric many stamens that are exerted on long filaments and stamens form a brush that covers visiting insects or birds with pollen.
Caesalpinoideae flowers bilaterally symmetric like flag flower but the lower petals are NOT fused into a keel (5 free) and the 10 stamens are all free

• You have six examples of fleshy fruits belonging to members of Rosaceae.
• Working with your group, try to figure out: – What type of fruit is each one? – How would you classify these six species
into two or more groups?
