 | | Rhabdodendraceae are evergreen trees that may be recognised by their fringed-peltate hairs, their rather large, entire and exstipulate leaves, flowers with stamens that have short filaments and long anthers, and a single carpel with a basal style. |
 | | Amaranthaceae (inc. Chenopodiaceae) are palynologically fairly homogeneous (Nowicke 1975; Skvarla and Nowicke 1976), having similarly thickened tecta, apertures with reduced pointed flecks of exine underlain by lamellar plates, and a thickened endexine. |
 | | Amaranthaceae sensu stricto have cuticle waxes lacking platelets; scarious bracts and perianth, and the filaments are often connate; n = (6-)8-9(-13, etc). |
