Summary

Slender shrubs or small trees with many slender and highly flexible spreading-ascending branches, clothed mainly with approximately ranked, forward-swept leaves. Laterals are more or less adnate, attached by a broad base, mostly unusually and conspicuously bilaterally flattened and cladode-like, collectively obliquely spreading into flattened pinnate ranks, each leaf tapering and linear–falcate in outline.
