  Rosaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Traditionally it has been divided into 4 subfamilies (Rosoideae, Spiraeoideae, Maloideae or Pomoideae, and Amygdaloideae or Prunoideae), primarily diagnosed by the structure of the fruits, but this has not been universally followed.
Recent work has identified that the traditional four subfamilies are not all monophyletic, but the structure of the family is still awaiting complete resolution.
Subfamily Spiraeoideae: Traditionally those genera which bear non-fleshy fruits consisting of five capsules.

The subfamily Spiraeoideae is a subfamily of (Plants having seeds in a closed ovary) flowering plants in the order Rosales.
Most are shrubs, but there are some (A plant lacking a permanent woody stem; many are flowering garden plants or potherbs; some having medicinal properties; some are pests) herbs.
Most members of the Spiraeoideae produce flowers that, upon seed-set, mature to form fruits that are aggregates of follicles.

SEM and light microscopy were used to examine floral development within the Amygdaloideae, Spiraeoideae, and Maloideae to look for ontogenetic evidence for one these hypotheses.
Manuscripts from the Amygdaloideae and Spiraeoideae floral development studies have been published in the International Journal of Plant Sciences.
The study of floral development also led to the collection of a number of micromorphological characters that are used in a non-molecular cladistic analysis.

One line of attack on problems like these has been to estimate phylogenies for the family as a whole, or for individual subfamilies, tribes, and some of the larger genera.
Molecular data support recircumscription of the two largest subfamilies (Maloideae and Rosoideae), rejection of Amygdaloideae and Spiraeoideae because they are not monophyletic, and redefinition of many of the tribes.
These studies offer insights not only about the monophyly of these groups and their relationships with each other, but also about their origin, as in the case of subfamily Maloideae.

There are also similarities between the types of leaves found in subfamily Maloideae and subfamily Spiraeoideae.
On the left is a pinnately compound leaf of Sorbaria sorbifolia of the Spiraeoideae, while on the right is a similar appearing leaf of Sorbus aucuparia of the Maloideae.
Based on a number of factors--chromosome number, bark, and leaves being but three examples--many systematists support the hypothesis that subfamily Maloideae is of hybrid origin between some ancestral Amygdaloideae and an ancestral Spiraeoideae.

 Evans, Rodger C.* and Timothy A. Dickinson.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
Amygdaloideae, minus Prunus, differ in their numbers of pistils (1 in Prinsepia; 5 in Exochorda and Oemleria), ovary connation (present in Exochorda), but have very similar ovule morphologies with respect to number, position within the ovary, and association with an obturator.
Molecular evidence also points toward a relationship between Adenostoma (Rosoideae or its own tribe Adenostomateae), Chamaebatiaria and Sorbaria; the latter two are traditionally placed in Spiraeoideae or tribe Sorbarieae.
Although these taxa vary with respect to pistil and ovule number (one pistil and two ovules in Adenostoma vs. five pistils that are basally connate and multiple ovules in Chamaebatiaria and Sorbaria), their ovule morphologies and position within the locule and with respect to their obturators, is quite similar.
