One may use Papilionaceae as alternate name for Fabaceae, only if we include only papilionaceous members in the family (upgrading Faboideae to family level).

However, the following eight families are exceptions and their old names can ALSO be used (only for these 8) because of their popularity and very long usage. You can use either Labiatae or Lamiaceae, both are correct. The exceptions are: Labiatae / Lamiaceae Cruciferae / Brassicaceae Graminae / Poaceae Leguminosae / Papilionaceae / Fabaceae Guttiferae / Clusiaceae Umbelliferae / Apiaceae Compositae / Asteraceae Palmae / Arecaceae -- With regards R.
