Molecular phylogenetic and morphological investigation of Staphyleaceae revealed five major clades. The investigation for morphological synapomorphies in Staphyleaceae included examination of venation in leaf teeth, ultrastructural epicuticular wax features of leaves, and pollen. All images of leaf teeth, epicuticular waxes, and pollen are shown in relative size, respectively, and are presented in the paper and/or included in linked external sources with voucher information and scale bars.
