Melianthus Family. Shrubs or trees: leaves alternate, entire or pinnate: flowers bisexual, irregular, soon inverted; sepals 5, imbricated; petals 4-5; stamens 4-5, or 10, free or slightly connate at the base, alternating with the petals; disk present, extrastaminal, crescent-shaped, or annular with 10 projections; carpels 4-5; ovary 4-5-celled; ovules 1 to many in each cell; style 1; stigma 4-5-lobed: fruit a capsule; seeds albuminous, sometimes arillate.<br /> <br /> All the 3 genera and 17 species are natives of Africa. The Melianthaceae were formerly united with the Sapindaceae, with which they agree in the extra-staminal disk, but they differ in the vertically bisymmetrical, not obliquely bisymmetrical, flowers, and more abundant endosperm.<br /> <br /> In southern California, species of Melianthus are grown for ornament.<br /> <br /> {{SCH}}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Genera==<br /> <br /> ==Gallery==<br /> {{photo-sources}}&lt;!-- remove this line if there are already 3 or more photos in the gallery --&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> Image:Upload.png| photo 1<br /> Image:Upload.png| photo 2<br /> Image:Upload.png| photo 3<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
