The genera of the Cactoideae are characterized by microscopic foliage leaves. All photosynthesis occurs in shoot cortex cells covered by a persistent epidermis and stomata. Another important characteristic of this subfamily is ribbed stems, which enable the inner cortex to expand

Juglandoideae Eaton 1979
plant subfamily in the juglandaceae family
Juglandoideae is a subfamily of the walnut family Juglandaceae. This clade was first described by Koidzumi in 1937 by the name "Drupoideae," based on the drupe-like fruits of Juglans and Carya.

Leroy (1955) and Melchior (1964) both published descriptions of the clade using the name "Jugandoideae," but both were deemed invalid due to technicalities. The first valid publication of the name was by Manning (1978). Subfamily Juglandoideae Manning (1978) Tribe Caryeae Koidz. (1937) Carya Nutt. – hickory and pecan
