The Maloideae, or the apple subfamily, is a subfamily of the rose family Rosaceae characterised in its traditional description by the possession of a pome ("false fruit") and a basal haploid chromosome count of 17. They are composed of shrubs and small trees. It includes a number of plants bearing commercially important fruits, especially apples and pears.

More recent proposals expand Maloideae to include a number of herbaceous genera that are more closely related to the traditional Maloideae than to other elements of Rosaceae. These are Kageneckia, Lindleya, and Vauquelinia, which have a haploid chromosome count of 17 or 15, but capsular fruits, and Gillenia, which has a haploid chromosome count of 9. A herb (pronounced urb in American English and hurb in British English) is a plant grown for culinary or medicinal value. ...
