FAMILY 61. MALACEAE. APPLE FAMILY. 



Trees or shrubs, with simple or pinnate, alternate leaves, with stipules. 

 Flowers perfect, regular. Hypanthium well developed, adnate to the ovary, 

 becoming fleshy, and constituting a part of the fruit. Sepals and petals 

 mostly 5. Stamens numerous, distinct, inserted on the margins of the re- 

 ceptacle. Gynoecium of 1-5 united carpels; cells of the ovary and styles 

 as many, the latter distinct or partly united. Fruit a more or less fleshy 

 pome. 



Cells of the fruit by false partitions twice as many as the styles. 



Flowers racemose; styles 3-5, rarely 2. 



Flowers solitary or in 2- or 3-flowered corymbs; styles 2. 

 Cells of the fruit as many as the styles. 



Leaves pinnately compound; carpels leathery at maturity. 



Leaves simple, more or less pinnately lobed; carpels bony at maturity
