Phylogenetics
Caesalpinioideae, as it was traditionally
molecular phylogenies in the early 2000s showed that the other two subfamilies of Fabaceae (Faboideae and Mimosoideae) were both nested within Caesalpinioideae.[7][8][9][10] Consequently, the subfamilies of Fabaceae were reorganized to make them monophyletic.[6] Caesalpinioideae, as currently defined, contains the following subclades:[8]
Fabales
Caesalpinioideae
Umtiza clade
Caesalpinieae clade
Dimorphandra group A
Tachigali clade
Peltophorum clade
Dimorphandra group B (with the mimosoid clade nested within)
