Click on name for an interactive key or on [DK] for a dichotomous key.
Links for monotypic clades lead to the genus treatment.



Key to all genera

A key to all genera of Malpighiaceae will be provided at the completion of the project. Keys to clades are posted as they become available; see the list at left.



Interactive Keys
[allow for slight delay when loading Lucid Keys]

Suggestions for using Lucid Keys[pdf]

The interactive keys were constructed with Lucid 3.3 [Windows98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003, MacOSX, Linux, and Solaris].

A Lucid key requires a Java-enabled browser. Java Virtual Machine v1.4.2 or later version must be installed. If JVM 1.4.2 is not installed on your computer, you can download it free of charge from Sun Microsystems at http://www.java.com. Macintosh users need to use their system update utility or visit the Apple website to obtain the JVM.



Dichotomous Keys [DK]

Use the dichotomous keys [DK] if your browser does not execute the interactive keys.
