15. Campanulids: Dipsacales: Adoxaceae (The Elderberry family) Widespread in temperate regions of the N. Hemisphere but also in mountainous regions of S. Hemisphere Small trees, shrubs or perennial herbs; leaves opposite, simple or trifoliolate or pinnately compound Diversity: 245 species in 5 genera Flowers: Bisexual, radial, small; sepals 2-5, connate, reduced; petals 4-5, connate, well developed but with a usually short tube; stamens 5, pollen with a reticulate exine; carpels 3-5, style(s) short; fruit a drupe, with 1-5 pits Significant features: inflorescences determinate, umbellate, showy Special uses: ornamentals (Viburnum, Sambucus), also jellies and wines Family not required

16. Adoxaceae Adoxa Sambucus Viburnum

17. Adoxaceae: Viburnum -shrubs or small trees -leaves simple -inflorescences compound cymes -flowers usually white (rarely pink) -corolla spreading, deeply 5-lobed -ovary 3-carpellate, but two abort -fruit a 1-locular, 1-seeded drupe

19. Campanulids: Asterales: Campanulaceae (The Bellflower or Lobelia Family) Widespread in northern temperate and sub-tropical regions; also in the montane tropics Mostly herbs; occasionally woody; with laticifers/latex and milky sap; leaves usually alternate Diversity: ca. 2,200 species in 79-84 genera Flowers: With a hypanthium; sepals 5, connate; petals 5, connate, forming a bell-shaped or bilabiate (or 1-lipped) corolla; stamens usually 5, distinct to distally connate, usually attached to a disk at apex of ovary; carpels 2-5, connate, inferior (or half-inferior) ovary; fruit a loculicidal or poricidal capsule, or berry Significant features: pollen shed in a tube formed by connate anther parts; style (with pollen collecting hairs near the apex) grows through tube Special uses: Mostly ornamentals (Campanula, Lobelia, Codonopsis, Platycodon) Family not required
