Default Source of plant family name Fabaceae

I understood the latest convention regarding the naming of a plant
family requires that the name have as its root the genus name of a
typical genus, however I am unable to locate any genus Fab... genus name
that fits, help will be appreciated, many thanks Bernard Brennan
