Maloideae. Taxonomy[edit] The subfamily was given the name Pomoideae Juss. in 1789, but this name is no longer accepted under the nomenclature codes because it is not based on a genus name.
It has also been separated into its own family the Malaceae Small[3] (formerly Pomaceae Lindl.).[4] Recent molecular data have shown that the traditional subfamily Spiraeoideae is paraphyletic,[1][5] and to best reflect relationships subfamily Amygdaloideae has been expanded to include the former Spiraeoideae and Maloideae.[1] An earlier intermediate classification[6] expanded Maloideae to include four genera with dry non-pome fruit.
