  2. Cross like(4 sepals 4 petals)

  3. Brassicaceae

  4. Monadelphous Stamens

  5. Malvaceaefilaments fused forming a tube around the style

  6. Phytomelan crust

  7. AgavaceaeBlack crust covering seeds with collapsed interlayers

  8. Epiphytic

  9. Orchidaceae plant that grows on another plant without deriving nutrients or water

  10. Plicate leaves

  11. Arecaceaefolded

  12. I am usually a tree or a shrub. My leaves are simple, alternate, and stipulate. My five petals are clawed and my flowers are cup-shaped and with a well-developed hypanthium. I also have a intrastaminal nectar disk and my stamens are epipetalous.

  13. Rhamnaceae

  14. I’m a tree with leaves in a terminal cluster on my usually unbranched trunk. My leaves are long-petioled with a large basal sheath and lateral spines. They are either feather-shaped and pinnately divided or fan-shaped and palmately divided with the divisions plicate. My inflorescence is paniculate or compound-spicate.

  15. Arecaceae

  16. I could be a rhizomatous herb to a tree with a large, woody caudex. My leaves are usually alternate and spiral along the stem or in a basal rosette. My flowers are usually small with 6 tepals often connate with a bell-shaped perianth. I have 6 stamens and the filaments are often adnate to tepals. My seeds lack a phytomelan crust.

  17. Ruscaceae

  18. My herbage is in a dense rosette of more or less succulent sessile leaves with sheathing and overlapping leaf bases. My leaves have terminal and lateral spines or filaments. My inflorescence can be spike-like to paniculate, terminal, or cymose. My flowers have 6 tepals in two series and are typically thick and yellow or white. Stamens are in two series of 3 and basally adnate to the perianth. My seeds have a phytomelan crust.

  19. Agavaceae

  20. I’m an herb and often a epiphyte or a saptrophyte. My growth is from creeping rhizomes, pseudobulbs, tubers, or aerial roots. I have basal leaves that are often 2-ranked, sheathing, and sessile. In some genus my leaves are reduced to sheathing scales and lack chlorophyll. My flowers are perfect and zygomorphic with a perianth in 2 whorls. I have a labellum and one stamen that is adnate to the style and stigma to form a column.

  21. Orchidaceae

  22. EuphorbiaceaeHerbs, shrubs, and trees often with milky latex. 3-carpellate ovary with 3 styles and stigmas, the stigmas often divided into 2 or more segments each. Cyanthium, schizocarp.

  23. RosaceaeMostly woody, rhizomatous, thorns and prickles, flowers showy with hypanthium, 5 sepals and petals, numerous stamens, 1 to many fused carpels

  24. Onagraceaeherbs, inferior ovary, sepals and stamens borne on a long hypanthium tube, crossed 4 branched stigma, flowers 4-merous

  25. Brassicaceaecross-like, 4 sepals, 4 clawed petals, prolonged receptacle that forms a gynophore, leaves alternate and sometimes in a basal rosette, silicle/silique

  26. Fabaceaeherbs, shrubs, trees with alternate stipulate leaves, sometimes stipules stimose, compound leaves, legumes, pulvini on petioles, flowers 5-merous, 3 subfamilies

  27. Salicaceaetrees or shrubs, woody, deciduous, leaves alternate, simple, and serrated, inflorescence indeterminate, catkins, seeds with coma

  28. Malvaceaeleaves alternate and palmately veined with peltate or stellate trichomes, inflorescences with supernumerary bracts, numerous stamens united by filaments forming a tube around style, 5 petals, 5 epipetalous stames, flowers twisted in bud

  29. Lamiaceaeherbs, shrubs with square stems, leaves opposite or whorled, aromatic, gynobasic style, 5-lobed corolla, 4 epipetalous stamens, superior ovary of 2 united carpels

  30. Arecaceaetrees or shrubs with unbranched or rarely branched trunks, leaves in a crowded terminal crown, leaves splitting, blades plicate, panicle of small flowers, 3 sepals, petals, and carpels, 6 or more stamens

  31. Agavaceaelarge rosette, rhizomatous, leathery and fibrous leaves, succulent, leaves with pointed tips, stamens and tepals 6, perianth tubular to bell shaped, seeds with phytomelan crust

  32. Orchidaceaeterrestrial, saprophytic, or epiphytic herbs with rhizomes, corms, tubers, stems basally thickened forming pseudobulbs, perianth in 2 whorls 3 parts each, longitudinal capsule, stamens adnate to style and stigma forming a column

  33. Celtidaceaesimple and alternate leaves asymmetrical at base, inflorescences axillary and determinate, 5 part perianth, drupe

  34. Fagaceaeleaves usually alternate, simple, often lobed, pinnate leaf venation, dangling catkin, nut

  35. Ruscaceaerhizomatous herbs to trees with a large woody, caudex, leaves usually alternate and spiral along stem or in basal rosette, simple, entire with parallel venation, tepals 6, stamens 6, seed lacking phytomelan crust
