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

You never heard of Faba beans?
Hannibal Lechter would have your liver for that transgression!

You didn't look very hard. Try Faba Miller.
