Taxonomic Study of the Fabaceae Family of the Niwai Region of the Rajasthan

Teena Agrawal

Abstract


Taxonomy is the branch of the sciences which is concerned with the study of plants, their identification, nomenclature and correction identification on the basis of the certain parameters. Taxonomy is the core of the all the branches. Fabaceae family is the family which is also known as the leguminoseae family; pods of the family are termed as the legumes and they are the characteristic features of the family. Although all over the world, around the 750 genera are reported but here in this research work we are trying to elucidate the leguminoseae genera of the Niwai region including the Banasthali vidhyapith campus. The campus is very large and it has around the 18 genera of the Fabaceae family. All the members of the leguminoseae are full of economic importance and they are widely used for food, fodder and fuel; and the timber is also very useful and it is used for the several purposes. Some of the members are annuals and ephemeral and the life cycle of theses members is very short and the seeds and plant parts are buried in the soil and they are the best sources of the nitrogen fixation and they impart nitrogen values in the soil; overall the genera are very useful and they need conservation.
