KEY TO THE SPECIES

1Leaves trifoliolate, laterals sometimes caducous, leaving a scar. Mature fruit greenish yellow when fresh (red when dry!); more than 1½ cm long.
1'Leaves unifoliolate; no lateral scars. Mature fruit red when fresh; less than 1½ cm long.
2Calyx 3-5 mm high, outside pale puberulous to glabrous, not persistent in fruit.
2'Calyx 2½-3 mm high, outside brown puberulous, persistent in fruit.
3Mature leaf puberulous to pubescent beneath, also between the nerves.
3'Mature leaf beneath at most sparsely puberulous on the nerves.
4Panicles not or barely exceeding the leaves. Petals 4-7 mm long. Rimae obscure, glabrous inside.
4'Panicles exceeding the leaves. Calyx 3-3½ mm high. Petals 6-8 mm long. Rimae conspicuous, lighter and minutely papillose inside.
5Leaves 8-23 by 3-8½ cm, margins never paler. Calyx 1¼-2 mm high.
5'Leaves 5-11¼ by 2-3½ cm, margins usually paler. Calyx 2-3¾ mm high.
6Calyx (and often panicle also) glabrous to finely pale puberulous. Rimae obscure and glabrous inside.
6'Calyx at least at the base (and panicle) rusty puberulous. Rimae conspicuous, inside lighter and minutely papillose.
7Panicle glabrous, stout. Cymes sessile, flowers in glomerules along the rachis.
7'Panicle puberulous, slender. Cymes stalked.
8Leaves 4-13½ cm long. Panicle up to 13 cm, erect, ± compact (lax in S. celebica).
8'Leaves 7½-28½ cm long. Panicle usually pendulous, slender, usually much longer than 13 cm.
9Cymes not ± secund. Basal parts of pedicels all ± equal.
9'Cymes ± secundly branched. Basal part of one pedicel per cyme usually elongated, up to 5 mm. Nerves of leaf beneath often reddish when dry.
10Leaves when dry brown to reddish brown. Basal parts of pedicels 0-2 mm long. Calyx 1¾-2¼ mm high, persistently puberulous outside, reddish brown when dry.
10'Leaves when dry palish to olive green, 4½-11 cm long, acuminate. Basal part of pedicels 2-6 mm long. Calyx 2-3 mm high, outside glabrescent in fruit, except for base and margins, crimson when dry.
11Leaves 4-10 cm long, acuminate to cuspidate. Panicle ± dense, pedicels with shorter and reduced upper joint (c.⅓ mm).
11'Leaves 6-13½ cm long, cuneate-acute to faintly acuminate; venation above more prominent than in the other two species. Panicle slender, lax, joints of pedicel ± equal (up to 1½ mm).
12Leaf widest at the middle, apex gradually acute to caudate, base obtuse to rounded. Nerves often reddish when dry. Petiolules 2-4 by 1-2 mm. Cymes ± secundly branched, basal part of one pedicel elongated, up to 5 mm. Claw of petals ⅔-1 mm long.
12'Leaf widest at or above the middle, margins ± parallel, apex abruptly acuminate to caudate, base truncate to emarginate. Nerves concolourous with intervenium when dry. Petiolules 3-9 by 1-3 mm. Cymes not ± secundly branched, basal part of pedicels ± equal. Claw of petal ¼-½ mm long.
