Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The inverted repeat-lacking clade (IRLC) is a monophyletic clade of the flowering plant subfamily Faboideae (or Papilionaceae). Faboideae includes the majority of agriculturally-cultivated legumes. The name of this clade is informal and is not assumed to have any particular taxonomic rank like the names authorized by the ICBN or the ICPN.[3] The clade is characterized by the loss of one of the two 25-kb inverted repeats in the plastid genome that are found in most land plants.[6] It is consistently resolved in molecular phylogenies.[1][2][4][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] The clade is predicted to have diverged from the other legume lineages 39.0±2.4 million years ago (in the Eocene).[14] It includes several large, temperate genera such as Astragalus L., Hedysarum L., Medicago L., Oxytropis DC., Swainsona Salisb., and Trifolium L..
