  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: List of genera in Caesalpinioideae
Caesalpinioideae is a subfamily of the large flowering plant family Fabaceae.
The tribe Cercideae has sometimes been included in the subfamily Faboideae in the past, but genetic evidence shows it is correctly placed here.
The Caesalpinioideae are mainly trees distributed in the moist tropics.

 Leguminosae - LoveToKnow 1911
In Caesalpinioideae endosperm is absent, or present forming a thin layer round the embryo as in the tribe Bauhinieae, or copious and cartilaginous as in the Cassieae.
Mimosoideae and Caesalpinioideae are richly developed in the tropical rain forests,, where Papilion atae are less conspicuous and mostly herbaceous; in subtropical forests arborescent forms of all three suborders occur.
In the temperate regions, treeforms are rare - thus Mimosoideae are unrepresented in Europe; Caes a'_pinioi deae are represented by species of Cercis, Gymnocladus and Gleditschia; Papi lionatae by Robinia; but herbaceous Papilionatae abound and penetrate to the limit of growth of seed-plants in arctic and high alpine regions.

 Caesalpinioideae | Slovenian | Dictionary & Translation by Babylon
Caesalpinioideae is a botanical name at the rank of subfamily, placed in the large family Fabaceae or Leguminosae.
Its name is formed from the generic name Caesalpinia.The Caesalpinioideae are mainly trees distributed in the moist tropics.
Caesalpinioideae, ou Caesalpiniaceae é uma subfamília botânica pertencente às leguminosas (Fabaceae).

 Caesalpinioideae
In general terms, all petals of the Caesalpinioideae are free, and the upper petal sits within the other petals (in Faboideae this is the standard, and it is the outermost petal).
Put differently: the Caesalpinioideae did not have their own unique common ancestor; the ancestor there was, was also ancestor to one or both of the other subfamilies.
Still, the subfamily is maintained for ease of use, pending further research (so here you see the difference between taxonomy and phylogeny: taxonomy deals with classification and nomenclature, while phylogeny focusses on kinships, ancestry and evolution).

 Flower Terminology (Part 2)
Members of the subfamily Caesalpinioideae have flowers that are bilateral, typically with five distinct petals, upper petal (banner) enveloped in the bud by the lateral wings.
The subfamily Caesalpinioideae contains a group of closely-related legumes which have flower buds with their upper petal enveloped by the lateral petals.
The subfamily Caesalpinioideae includes many familiar trees and shrubs including poinciana or bird-of-paradise bush (Caesalpinia), orchid tree (Bauhinia), cassia (Cassia), carob (Ceratonia), palo verde (Cercidium), redbud (Cercis), royal poinciana (Delonix), logwood (Haematoxylum), Jerusalem thorn (Parkinsonia) and tamarind (Tamarindus).

 Legume Root Nodules   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The three subfamilies of Fabaceae (Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoideae, Papilionoideae) all contain species that form root nodules as described by Sprent (2001) in Nodulation in Legumes.
In Caesalpinioideae, there are reports of nodulation by members of all tribes but the strongest evidence of nodulation appears confined to members of tribes Caesalpinieae and Cassieae (Sprent, 2001; pp.
This variety of nodulation is thought to be a result of plant and bacteria species that are not completely compatible for root nodulation or a primitive form of nodulation (Sprent, 2001; p.

Subfamily Caesalpinioideae is considered the basal group of the Leguminosae, from which are derived members of the other two subfamilies, Mimosoideae (mimosas, acacias) and Papilionoideae (common beans, peas).
The Caesalpinioideae are mostly tropical, occurring in America, Africa and Asia.
The objectives of our research is to use molecular characters derived from the chloroplast and nuclear genomes to improve our understanding of relationships within the Caesalpinioideae.

 BIOONE Online Journals - Phylogenetic Relationships in the Caesalpinioideae (Leguminosae) as Inferred from Chloroplast ...
The basal subfamily Caesalpinioideae of the Leguminosae generally is subdivided into four or five tribes, but their monophyly remains questionable.
Cassieae subtribes Dialiinae and Labicheinae together are sister to the remaining Leguminosae, which includes a monophyletic Papilionoideae, a paraphyletic Mimosoideae, and several monophyletic groups that correspond to previously defined generic groups or subtribes in the Caesalpinioideae.
The trnL intron analysis suggests that basal legumes are extremely diverse in their floral morphology, and that presence of simple, actinomorphic flowers may be a derived feature in a number of lineages in the family.
