Achatocarpaceae in Flora of North America @ efloras.org |
 | | Achatocarpaceae has been included in Phytolaccaceae by numerous authors (e.g., G. Brown and G. Varadarajan 1985). |
 | | Achatocarpaceae is distinguished from Phytolaccaceae by a combination of characters, chiefly unilocular ovaries with a single ovule, unisexual flowers, berrylike fruits, and pollen with obscure pores. |
 | | Minute vessel pits, lack of successive cambia, and lack of betalains or anthocyanins are characters further separating Achatocarpaceae from Phytolaccaceae (S. Carlquist 2000). |
