  4. 19) Caryophyllaceae • Pink Family (as if cut with pinking shears – notched or zigzag edge) • Herbs with swollen nodes; anthocyanin present (no betalains) • Leaves opposite, connected at the base with a transverse line • 4-6 tepals, no true petals but outer whorl of 4-5 stamens often petaloid • “Petals” very often lobed or having notches at the apex • Pistil with free central placentation • Fruit a many-seeded capsule opening by teeth or valves

  5. Axile Placentation Parietal Placentation Free Central Placentation
