Amygdaloideae (often incorrectly called Prunoideae) is a subfamily of flowering plants. This subfamily is placed within the family Rosaceae.
Before 2011, the only plants in this subfamily were the stone fruits (such as plums, peaches, and almonds). After 2011, the taxonomy of the Amygdaloideae subfamily was restructured to include all of the Rosaceae family, except for the Rosoideae and Dryadoideae subfamilies.
Commercially important members of the Amygdaloideae include plums, apples, spiraea, cherries, medlars, and many others.
