Diagnosis.—Diclinous Exogens, with monodicJilamydeous flowers, inferioi fruit, parietalplacentcB and embryo without a trace of albumen. The plants of tliis Alliance differ from all others in their dicUnous flowers, combined\vith an inferior ovary, whose placentee are more or less manifestly parietal. They ap-proach Menispermads in then scrambling habit, and Passionworts in their the greater part the stigmas are horseshoe-shaped. They differ from Papayals intheir inferior ovary and exalbuminous seeds, and from the scrambling genera of Euphor-bi
