Key pattern

Alternate, large compound leaves on shrubs closely related to the grape family; small flowers fuse their stamens into a distinctive cup-shaped tube around the ovary, ripening into a berry.

Once classified within the grape family (Vitaceae) on the basis of shared floral structure, Leea is now recognised as its own small, mostly Old World tropical family.
