{{italic title}} {{Taxobox | name = Amygdaloideae | image = Amygdaloideae.jpg | regnum = [[Plant]]ae | divisio = [[Flowering plant|Magnoliophyta]] | classis = [[Magnoliopsida]] | ordo = [[Rosales]] | familia = [[Rosaceae]] | subfamilia = '''Amygdaloideae''' |subfamilia_authority = [[George Arnott Walker-Arnott|Arn.]] }} '''''Amygdaloideae''''' (often incorrectly called '''Prunoideae''') is a subfamily of [[flowering plant]]s. This subfamily is placed within the [[family (biology)|family]] [[Rosaceae]]. Since 2011 there has been a big change in how the name of this subfamily is used. Before 2011, the only plants in this subfamily were the [[stone fruit]]s such as [[plum]]s, [[peach]]es, and [[almond]]s. Now the subfamily includes all of the family [[Rosaceae]] except the subfamilies [[Rosoideae]] and [[Dryadoideae]]. Commercially important members of the Amygdaloideae include plums, [[apple]]s, [[spiraea]], [[cherries]], [[:medlars]], and many others. {{biology-stub}} [[category:Rosaceae]]
