It belongs to the sub family Faboideae ( Papilionoideae ).
Even though nodule formation is common in the two monophyletic subfamilies Papilionoideae and Mimosoideae they also contain species that do not form nodules.
The latter two are thought to be the most modern and specialised type of nodule as they are only present in some lines of the Papilionoideae sub-family.
An acceptable alternative name for the subfamily is "'Papilionoideae "', or "'Papilionaceae "'when this group of plants is treated as a family.
