CONT - Les Légumineuse sont des plantes de l'ordre des Rosales ayant comme caractère commun d'avoir pour fruit une gousse (appelée aussi légume).

Il s'agit des Mimosacées, des Césalpiniacées et des Papilionacées. Presque toutes les Légumineuses indigènes sont des Papilionacées : Trèfle, Pois, Luzerne, Fève, etc. D'autres ont été introduites pour leur utilité : Haricot, Robinier, etc. s
