Inflorescence variable, axillary, leaf-opposed or terminal, mostly pseudoracemose or panicled, bracts and bracteoles usually both present; flowers usually irregular, hermaphroditic, rarely regular or polygamous; sepals 4–5, connate or free, often unequal, sometimes combined into 2 lips; petals 5, rarely fewer by reduction, usually free and unequal; stamens normally 10, perigynous or hypogynous, rarely fewer or indefinite; filaments free or variously connate; anthers 2-celled, generally longitudinally dehiscent; ovary free; style simple, cylindrical, usually declinate, stigma capitate, terminal or oblique; ovules one or more on the ventral suture. Fruit usually a dry, dehiscent legume, typically dehiscent by one or both sutures into two valves, or indehiscent, sometimes jointed and separating into 1-seeded joints. Seeds usually exalbuminous; cotyledons foliaceous or amygdaloid, with a straight or inflexed acumbent radicle.

型態特徵
Trees, shrubs, herbs. Bracteoles 0. Androecium often zygomorphic, the members tending to decrease in size from the abaxial to the adaxial side of the flower. Filaments of all stamens straight, either shorter or not more than twice as long as their anther; if longer, then the anthers dehiscing by apical pores. Anther-thecae naked along the sutures. Pod either indehiscent, or breaking inelastically through one or both stures; if through both, then the valves not coiling. Seed-coat often with a closed areole on each face or margin.
