Recent work has identified that the traditional four subfamilies are not all monophyletic, but the structure of the family is still awaiting complete resolution.
To these are added the woody genera Lindleya and Vauquelinia, which share a haploid chromosome count of 17 (x=17) with the pomiferous genera, Kageneckia, in which x=15, and the herbaceous genus Gillenia (x=9), which is the sibling to the remaining maloids.
Subfamily Amygdaloideae (or Prunoideae): Traditionally those genera whose fruits consist of a single drupe with a seam, two veins next to the seam, and one vein opposite the seam.

 Prunoideae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prunoideae, also called Amygdaloideae, is the flowering plant subfamily containing the genera Prunus and Prinsepia.
Commercially important members of the Prunoideae include plum, cherry, apricot, peach, and almond.
The fruit of these plants are known as stone fruit (botanically, a drupe), as each fruit contains a single, hard-shelled seed called a stone or pit.

This is an anatomically preserved endocarp, or stone from the genus Prunus from the middle Eocene Princeton chert locality of British Columbia.
Prunus is the genus for the drupe- or stone-bearing fruits of the Rosaceae, subfamily Prunoideae, including cherries, plums, apricots, and peaches.
In the photograph the thick golden-colored layer is the endocarp, or stone, which represents the innermost fruit wall.

Drupes are fleshy fruits in which the inner part of the ovary wall becomes a hard and woody pyrene, while the outer part remains soft and may be invested with sugars and water, or with lipids.
Most members of Rosaceae subfamily Prunoideae produce drupes that develop from the single pistil of a perigynous flower, as shown below.
An exception is the genus Oemleria (osoberry), from the Pacific northwest, in which up to five pistils are found within the hypanthium.

The importance of LTPs as food allergens was only recently understood: the first allergenic LTPs were described in Rosaceae fruits, particularly in those belonging to the Prunoideae subfamily(peach, apricot, cherry and plum).
In 1992, researchers identified a peach-specific low-molecular-mass allergen, preferentially located in the peel of the fruit.
In 1994, a low-molecular-mass allergen was described as binding the sera of 90% of the peach-allergic patients and being the sole allergenic protein recognized by those patients not sensitized to birch pollen: this allergen was cross- reactive with homologous proteins in other Prunoideae fruits but not with birch or grass pollen allergens.

The four subfamilies are the Spiraeoideae, Maloideae, Rosoideae, and Prunoideae (Amygdaloideae).
In the subfamily Prunoideae (Amygdaloideae), the generic delimitation of the genus Prunus is also in dispute.
In the course of compiling the Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinica with Professor T. Yü, she discovered and published many new species, made new combinations, and revised the system of classification for the genus Rosa.

However, closer inspection reveals that the gynoecium varies tremendously among different species of the family.
In the subfamily Rosoideae many apocarpous pistils mature into achenes while in the Prunoideae a single monocarpellate pistil matures into a drupe.
In subfamily Spiraeoideae the gynoecium consists of two or more apocarpous pistils that mature into follicles.

Biologically, there is no doubt that almonds belong in the Prunoideae family (Plum family) with apricot, cherry, peach, plum and sloe.
I have also seen this frequent reference to the Rosaceae family but that is actually incorrect and probably an innocent error that simply got proliferated by others who never bothered to look up the right information; the rose family includes flberry, raspberry, boysenberry, strawberry.
Unlike other foods in the Prunoideae family, we essentially eat the pits of the almond fruit while we eat the flesh of the fruit of the others (in fact, peach and cherry pits contain some nasty toxins so don't try eating them - cyanogenic glycosides that release CN on contact with stomach acid).
