Leaves: bipinnate; primary and secondary axes either eglandular or, in some Madagascan species, with extrafloral nectaries (see Note below) and at least in E. phaseoloides, with unusual ' pit' nectaries on stems at nodes adjacent to petiole; rachis in lianescent taxa terminating in a bifurcating tendril (modified terminal pinnae pair); pinnae 1 - many pairs per leaf; leaflets 1 - many pairs per pinna; lamina often asymmetric and apically mucronate or emarginate. Inflorescence: spiciform racemes or spikes, axillary to supra-axillary, solitary or clustered, sometimes into terminal panicles. Flowers: 5 - merous, sessile to shortly pedicellate, staminate or bisexual, cream-coloured, yellow, green, red or purple; calyx gamosepalous, campanulate, the fused sepals distinctly toothed or not; petals 5, free to basally connate, adnate basally with the stamens and a perigynous disc forming a stemonozone; stamens 10, fertile, free or basally united, anthers usually with a caducous spheroidal apical gland, sessile to stipitate; pollen tricolporate, columellate, dispersed as monads; style tapering to a tubular to rarely cupuliform stigma, ovary glabrous and multi-ovulate. Fruit: a craspedium, torulose or not, compressed to flattened, straight to curved to rarely spirally twisted, sometimes gigantic (up to 2 m long in taxa with sea-drifted seeds); epicarp woody to thinly coriaceous; endocarp woody to parchment-like; splitting along transverse septa into one-seeded segments upon ripening or valvately dehiscent, the entire valve breaking away from the replum and the epicarp also separating from the endocarp. Seeds: globular to elliptic, usually laterally compressed, longest axis up to 6 cm in large-fruited taxa, dark brown, smooth, with or without areole, pleurogram (when present) usually open. Fig. 2. As delimited here, a genus of 40 species (traditionally + / - 30 species), widespread, primarily tropical, but reaching subtropical latitudes in southern Africa and eastern Asia (Fig. 3); 29 species in Africa (including Madagascar), nine species in Asia, four species in the Americas; two species (E. rheedei and E. gigas) occur in two of these regions. Frequently found in riparian and littoral vegetation, though also in savannah, open woodland, thickets or dense humid to more open and dry forest, often on sandy substrates.	en	O'Donnell, Shawn A., Ringelberg, Jens J., Lewis, Gwilym P.
