ILDIS

International Legume Database & Information Service

The international organisation ILDIS is developing a worldwide database of all legume species. ILDIS is the International Legume Database and Information Service.

Leguminosae

The plant family Leguminosae contains just under a twelfth of the world's flowering plants. Many species are important as crop plants and as sources of pharmaceutical products. They are responsible for much of the world's soil fertility through nitrogen fixation.
