Ovules solitary in each loculus of the ovary. 



Leaves trifoliolate ; inner cotyledon transversely bi-pli- 

 cate ; disc unsymmetrical. 



Scandent tendril-bearing herbs or shrubs with 3-foliolate 

 leaves ; petals with cucullate crested scales ; fruit a 

 membranous 3-celled capsule ... 



Erect shrubs or trees without tendrils; leaves 1- to 3- 

 foliolate ; scales of petals emarginate ; fruit (by abor- 

 tion) with 2 or 1 globose indehiscent baccate cocci 

 Leaves (except in Paranephelium) equally pinnate (simple 

 in one Aphania ) ; cotyledons curved or sub-circinate, rarely 

 sub-diplicolobate ; disc symmetrical or unsymmetrical. 

 Fruit indehiscent. 



Seeds without arillus. 



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

 and imperfect or obsolete, the developed one sub- 

 globose and fleshy, testa of seed bony ; sepals and 

 petals oblong, the basal scales of the petals entire 

 Fruit 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 

 sub-3-gonous divergent lobes united only at their 

 bases; sepals more or less orbicular ; petals smaller 

 with 2 infolded basal auricles or with 2 basal scales 

 Fruit sulcate, never lobed : inflorescence often from 

 the branches. 



Fruit sub-ligneous, 3-celled, 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 sulcate, arillus adnate to 

 the testa with a free edge round the micropyle. 

 Micropyle near the hilum ; calyx-lobes 4 to 5, 

 petaloid, concave, broadly imbricate ; fruit muri- 

 cated 



Micropyle remote from the hilum : calyx lobes 

 small, valvate, petals sometimes 0; fruit muri- 

 cated or tubercled or obsoletely 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. 



Calyx polysepalous, imbricate in two series, buds 

 sub-globose ; petals with 2 crested basal scales ; fruit
