Shrubs are woody, non-climbing, multiple-stemmed perennials usually <5 m in height (Opler et al. 1980).
The classification followed Bawa et al. (1985a) and Gross (2005).
The flower size of a few species may actually be somewhat larger than we measured because flowers on specimens may have shrunk after dehydration.
Fleshy fruits followed Willson et al. (1989). Others were classified as dry fruits.
