2 Cross like (4 sepals 4 petals)

3 Brassicaceae

4 Monadelphous Stamens

5 Malvaceae filaments fused forming a tube around the style

6 Phytomelan crust

7 Agavaceae Black crust covering seeds with collapsed interlayers

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

10 Plicate leaves

11 Arecaceae folded

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.
