50. FauUiuia L.^ — Flowers polygamo-dicecious irregular (nearly

 mens 8, or more rarely 9-1 5, interior to unequally- sometimes deeply- 

 lobed disk ; lobes of disk sometimes nearly free. The excentric germen

 piriform, 3-gonal, sometimes 3-alate, more rarely oxalate (Miourea^) 

 and coriaceous, 1-3-locular, septicidally 3-valvate, 1-3-spermous. 

 Testa of ascendent shortly arillate seed crustaceous ; embryo exalbu- 

 minous straight or oftener curved. — Sarmentose scandent or volubile 

 shrubs ; leaves alternate, 1-3-ternate, pinnate or pinnately decompo- 

 site, oftener stipulate ; petiole often winged ; leaflets often dentate 

 or crenate, punctate or lineolate ; flowers in axillary, simple or ramose
