For a start they are all of the Fabaceae family of plants, which generally speaking means they are nitrogen fixing beany/pea-y plants (which gets explained further in the graphic below).
But wait ... there is another characteristic they share ... *secret squirrel* all shall be revealed in the next post. What can it be?!
