Dr. Satish Phadke had done a wonderful job the last time we had this episode way back in November 2011.
here's what he wrote and that had helped me immensely: Hence I am copy pasting from that thread here in violet text with many thanks to Satish. and the url follows the quote ... *"Distinguishing characters (always present)* * Subfamily Papilionoideae (Faboideae)* *• Leaves usually pari- or imparipinnate, palmate or trifoliolate , sometimes simple or unifoliolate, sometimes with a tendril. * *• Flowers usually bilaterally symmetrical pea flowers. * *• Sepals united into a tube at base. * *• Petals imbricate in bud, the median petal (also known as the standard, banner or vexillum) overlaps the other 4. * *• Stamens (9-)10(-many), sometimes dimorphic, usually diadelphous (9 fused,1 free or 5+5), sometimes monadelphous (all 10 fused), filaments rarely free, exserted or included. * *• Seeds usually hard and with a complex hilar valve (as in beans and peas), pleurogram absent."* https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!searchin/indiantreepix/Family$20overview/indiantreepix/8_I5HSZGQ40/Ly1nLFenwnQJ There's more to that thread, please peruse it, it might be of help to folks like me.. usha di On Wed, Sep 16, 2015 at 4:18 PM, Gurcharan Singh <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear members > Our next three episodes will cover Fabaceae.
