Fabids

 1.  Zygophyllales

Cork origin deep-seated endosperm lacking resinous, lignans/neolignans, harman alkaloids

 2. Oxalidales

Leaves often compound, pulvini (sleep movement) flower A5 or multiple, branched style common mucilage cells oxalates

3 .  Celastrales

Inflorescence cymose, flower small G often 3-merous, nectary often intrastaminal disk seeds often arillate (red-orange) or winged

 4.  Malpighialales

Habits and habitats extremely diverse leaves margins toothed; pedicels often articulated flower G3 (often)

 5.  Fabales

Flower often “papilionaceous”: wing, standard, keel, C clawed, G1 (most), A10 (most) fr pod symbiosis with root nodule bacteria diverse alkaloids, NP amino acids, lectins (in Fabaceae)

 6.  Rosales

Leaves mostly simple with stipules;  the K value (and hypanthium) ; stigma dry, ovule 1/carpel;  dihydroflavonols

 7.  Cucurbitales

Leaves mostly alternate;   endosperm scanty; embryo large; endo- sperm scanty; flower often unisexual, G mostly inferior parietal placentation cucurbitacins

8 .  Fagales

Mostly trees; leaves mostly undivided; flowers small, unisexual anemophilous, thus T reduced or lacking, G mostly inferior inflorescence spikes or catkins; fruit mostly nuts; seed 1 ectomycorrhiza; tannins, dihydroflavonols
