The flowers of Mimosoideae are typically small and aggregated into inflorescences. The calyx and corolla are usually fused, forming a tubular structure. The stamens are often numerous and free, extending beyond the corolla and giving the flowers a distinctive appearance. The inflorescences can be globular, cylindrical, or spike-like, depending on the species. | The flowers of Mimosoideae are typically small and aggregated into inflorescences.
