The relative value of the taxonomic characters is discussed. An electron microscopy study of the seed surface, pollen grains and several sexual characters has been undertaken. Two keys are included , one using vegetative and floral characters and the other using ultrastructure of the testa. Each species description is accompanied by illustrations and a distribution map. Historical and ecological notes on the genus are given
