    Saxifragaceae Hypanthium. 10 or fewer stamens mounted on the lip of the hypanthium. Herbaceous. No stipules (usu)
    Fabaceae Peas and beans. Flowers have banner, wings and keel. Fruit is a peapod (legume - unilocular, dehiscent, marginal placentation)
    Apiaceae Flowers in UMBELS (think Queen Ann's lace). Fruit a schizocarp composed of 2 mericarps (often covered with hooked bristles ). Ovary always inferior.
