KEY TO THE GENERA. 
1. Pistils solitary; follicles with a distinct stipe. 
2. Leaves pinnate, the leaflets 3 to 7 ; scandent shrubs 1. Connarus 
2. Leaflet solitary; small trees 2. Ellipanthus 
1. Pistils 2 to 7 ; follicles sessile. 
2. Pistils 5, but usually only 1 perfect; follicle not rugose; seeds exalbuminous ; 
leaves pinnate 3. Rnurea 
2. Pistils 2 to 5, perfect; follicles rugose or tubercled; seeds exalbuminous; 
leaves trifoliolate 4. Agelaea 
2. Pistils 5 to 7 ; follicles densely pubescent ; seeds albuminous, the aril thin. 
5. C nest is 
1. CONNARUS Linn. 
1. Leaflets 3; follicles large, woody, horned 1. C. trifoliatus 
1. Leaflets usually more than three, or if three, the follicles coriaceous, not horned. 
2. Indumentum stellate-plumose 2. C. stellatus 
2. Indumentum not stellate. 
3. Bracts and bracteoles linear-cyclindric, the former frequently 1 cm long 
and exceeding the flowers 3. C. bracteatus 
3. Bracts and bracteoles not prominent. 
4. Leaflets glabrous ; follicles small, coriaceous or subcoriaceous. 
5. Leaflets rounded, acute, or only broadly and obscurely acuminate, not 
prominently glandular-punctate beneath. 
6. Margins of the petals adherent above the ovary, forming a short 
tube above the inflated base; follicles glabrous inside. 
4. C. culionensis 
6. Petals free throughout; follicles more or less pubescent inside. 
7. Base of the leaflets broad, rounded or subeordate, the apex broad, 
rounded, entire 5. C. obtusifolius 
7. Base of the leaflets narrowed, acute or obtuse, the apex usually 
shortly and obscurely acuminate, slightly retuse.
