The family includes trees, shrubs, lianas and perennial herbaceous plants, and usually bear pinnately or palmately compound leaves, and usually have small flowers produced in large panicles.

 Flowering Plant Families, UH Botany
The Araliaceae are mostly tropical shrubs and trees comprising about 70 genera and 700 species.
The leaves are alternate or rarely opposite, palmately or pinnately compound or more than once compound or rarely simple; stipules are usually present and liguliform or adnate to the petiole and sheathing.
Note the pinnate leaves, umbellate inflorescence, and flowers with five and six petals and alternating stamens; the inferior ovary and nectary disk are also evident in this this endemic Hawaiian species.

 Systematics of the Apiales
The Apioideae was the largest of the three and contained all the plants that bear flowers in a compound umbel, while the Saniculoideae had simple umbels.
It was viewed that the Hydrocotyloideae represented an intermediate form between the Araliaceae and the Apiaceae, and this led many to believe that the Apiaceae originated directly from the Araliaceae, i.e.
Within the Apiales, Araliaceae is paraphyletic, whereas the Apiaceae is a monophyletic clade.

Araliaceae is a dicotyledon plant family related closely to Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) owing to numerous common traits, notably those involving their general appearance and inflorescence structure.
This chapter provides a general description of the family, reviews its taxonomic history, and examines the geographic distribution, chemical composition, and medicinal use of the most widespread representatives.

 Apiales
Torricelliaceae + Griseliniaceae + Araliaceae + Pittosporaceae + Myodocarpaceae + Apiaceae: young stems with peripheral collechyma; vessels mainly in groups; pits in general with at most narrow borders; paratracheal parenchyma +; pericyclic fibers 0 or few; nodes 5(+):5(+); leaf bases broad; C apparently free, imbricate, G inferior, styles/stigmas recurved.
However, gynoecial development, etc., in the whole Apiales needs reinvestigation, given the inclusion of the superior-ovaried Pennantiaceae in it and the need to think of the morphology of the Pittosporaceae as quite probably being derived, rather than of the kind from which that of the Apiaceae, etc., was derived.
The ultimate units of the inflorescence are umbels or heads, the flowers are often rather small, there are often three or more carpels and the petals are valvate; the fruit is drupaceous, sometimes flattened laterally, and the seeds may be ruminate.

Apiaceae and Araliaceae represent one of the most troubling examples of the "Family-Pair Dilemma," i.e., a series of family pairs in which one family is mostly temperate and herbaceous, whereas the other is mostly tropical and woody.
Evolutionary relationships within these family pairs have been difficult to resolve due to large amounts of parallel and convergent evolution of morphological characters (presumably due to repeated migrations of tropical lineages into the North temperate zones).

Previous phylogenetic studies have included only a very limited number of exemplars from Meryta, but have suggested that the genus is related to the Southwest Pacific clade of Schefflera within the larger Polyscias-Pseudopanax group of Araliaceae.
