Simple, alternate, often two-ranked leaves on shrubs and trees, closely resembling their spurge-family relatives; small, petal-less, unisexual flowers on separate male and female plants ripen into a small drupe.
Seeds are strung as beads in some traditional and religious practices, and the tightly two-ranked leaf arrangement can make branches look almost fern-like at a glance.
