The current study involves 120 spontaneous species with economic value, which were selected from the Fabaceae family from the territory of Romania and which cover the following categories: 59 fodder species, 48 melliferous species, 57 medicinal species, 3 industrial species, 7 species for vegetable dyes, 4 insecticide species, 8 cosmetic species and 17 decorative species. Some species have multiple uses, but most of them, i.e. 108 species are ecologically important, of which some are suitable for ecological restoration. There are 23 toxic species of which 2 cause major problems. Useful species can be found in this family to solve future economy and ecological problems.
