Malinae is a subtribe of plants in the family Rosaceae, tribe Maleae. Members of this subtribe produce fruits known as pomes.[2] Commonly grown Malinae include Malus (apples). Another member of the Malinae subtribe, the Mespilus (medlars) were more commonly grown and eaten until around the end of the 17th century.
