Herbs, undershrubs or shrubs, very rarely climbing {TJrera), or trees ; juice watery, very rarely milky {Neraudia); whole plant often armed with hairs, some simple, others furnished at the base with an outer layer of cellules containing an acrid and burning juice; epidermal cells often containing cystoliths (see p. 121).
