Over 4,000 species are native to North America, most of which are members of the bean subfamily. They occur as scattered, secondary components of native vegetation. Over 2,000 species of milk vetch (genus Astragalus) alone occur worldwide, more than 40 in Canada.

Legumes are also a staple in the diets of both animals and humans.
