Pinnately compound leaves on shrubs and climbing lianas; small, five-petalled flowers ripen into a follicle that splits open on one side to reveal a single seed, often partly wrapped in a bright fleshy aril.
The single, brightly arillate seed inside a one-sided-splitting follicle is the family's most reliable field mark, echoed across its many, mostly tropical genera.
