Abstract

In this chapter, economically important plant species belonging to the Caesalpinioideae family are discussed. The plant family Caesalpinioideae is a subfamily belonging to Leguminosae. The plant species of Caesalpinioideae are trees or shrubs with alternate, compound leaves. They are provided with extra-floral nectaries or glands on the rachis. The diagnostic feature of the family is the posterior petal being overlapped by the lateral petals. Since the family is of great importance, this chapter provides detailed information on the uses, folk medicine, chemistry, distribution, cultivation, harvesting, yields and economics of selected economically important genera of the family.
