Abstract. At present, there are 460 wild-growing and cultivated leguminous species belonging to 70 genera in Azerbaijan. The taxonomic composition of the Fabaceae family includes 3 subfamilies: Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoideae, Faboideae. The article provides information about the genera and species belonging to the subfamily Caesalpinioideae, their distribution, morphological, bioecological, useful properties and effective use. Based on research and literature review, it was revealed that taxonomic changes and additions occurred in the subfamily Caesalpinioideae. The subfamily Caesalpinioideae includes 8 genera and 13 species. This includes genera: Gleditsia L., Cercis L., Gymnocladus Lam., Parkinsonia Plum. ex L., Ceratonia L., Senna L., Erythrostemon Klotzsch и Biancaea Tod. The genus Erythrostemon Klotzsch and the species Erythrostemon gillesii (Hook.) Klotzsch (Caesalpinia gillesii L.) are included in the flora of Nakhchivan MR for the first time. All studied 13 species belonging to 8 genera are useful plants. It is proposed and recommended to increase, continuously and effectively use their decorative, landscaping, decorative-garden, medicinal, coloring, superfood, fruit-bearing, nutritious, technical properties.
