1 | Fruit consisting of few to many separate free or connate carpels along the torus. |
1' | Fruit a woody loculicidal capsule composed of few (2-8) concrescent carpels. Tepals 9-15, subequal. Ovules about 4-8 in each carpel. Stipules free from the petiole |
2 | Ovules 4 or more in each carpel. The hair base replaces a normal epidermal cell, so that the loss of a hair leaves a pore in the cutical membrane. Leaf anatomical characters: sclerified epidermal and hypodermal layers, sclerified arm parenchyma in the mesophyll, unlignified vein-sheath cells, absence of either sclerified veinlet terminal cells or a sclerified leaf margin |
2' | Ovules 2 in each carpel (4 in Magnolia kachirachirai), sometimes 4 in the lower carpels. The hair base consists of at least two epidermal cells. The hair does not leave a pore when falling |
