The
Fabales are an order of
flowering plants, included in the rosid group of
dicotyledons. The families given at right are typical of newer classifications. Under the older
Cronquist system, the subfamilies of the Fabaceae were promoted to families. The other families now treated here were placed in separate orders: the Polygalaceae within the Polygalales, and the others within the
Rosales.
