Soandent teiidril-boarin^ herbs or shrubs with 3-foliolate 

 leaves ; petals with cacnllate crested scales ; frait a 

 membranous 3-celled capsule ... 

 Erect shrubs or trees without tendrils ; leaves 1- to R- 

 foliolate ; scales of petals emarginute ; frnit (by abor-

 Leaves (except in Poranephelium) equally pinnate (simple 

 in one Aphanm) ; cotyledons curved or snb-circinate, rarely 

 snb-diplicolobate ; disc symmetrical or nnsymmetrical. 

 Frnifc indeliiscent. 

 Seeds without arillns. 



Frnit 1- to 3-coccous, two of the segments small 

 and imperfect or obsolete, tha developed one sub- 

 globose and fleshy, testa of seed bony ; sepals and 

 petnls oblong, the bas.il scales of tlie petals entire 

 Frnit 1- to 3-lobed to the base, the lobes diverging, 

 oblong ; the testa of the seed membranous; sepals 

 orbicular ; petals obovate, their basal scale lobed ... 

 Fruit deeply divided into 2 rarely 3 ellipsoid or 

 snb-3-gonou8 divergent lobes united only at their 

 ba^es ; sepals more or less orbicnlnr ; petals smaller 

 with 2 infolded basal auricles or with 2 basal scales 

 Frnit snlcate, never lobed : inflorescence often from 

 the branches. 

 Fruit sub-ligneous, Scelled, 3-angled ; flowers 

 symmetrical, scales of petals crested : lower 

 pinnules of leaves not stipule-like ... 

 Fruit baccate, fleshy, incompletely septate; 

 scales of petals not crested ; lower pinnules of 

 leaves stipule-like 

 Seeds arillate. 



Fruit coccate or deeply snlcate, arillns adnate 

 the testa with a free edge round the micropyle. 

 Micropyle near the hilum ; c.ilyx-lobes 4 to 

 petaloid, concave, broadly imbricate ; fruit muri- 

 cated 



Micropyle remote from the hilum : calyx lobes 

 small, valvate, petals sometimes ; fruit muri- 

 cated or tubercled or obsoletcly so 

 Micropyle intermediate between the base and 

 apex of the seed ; lower leaflets stipule-like ; 

 fruit quite smooth 

 Fruit dehiscent, often produced into false wings ; seeds 

 usually arillate.
