Summary
Plants without distinct leaves, but the apparent function of leaves replaced by the presence of very numerous broad, flattened rhombic phylloclades (each derived from a much modified expanded and flattened branchlet), all usually of somewhat variable and often irregularly compound shape with angular margins, each phylloclade with multiple conspicuous veins and often glossy-surfaced, especially on all dorsal aspects.
