This will enable us to understand both these groups of plants in a precise way. In our group (Efloraindia) all members are not from the Botany background, so here only little info is being given on the latest classification from the paper cited above. You can download this paper fully from springer website* * * *Abstract of the above paper* The Asclepiadaceae, as traditionally defined, have repeatedly been shown to be an apomorphic derivative of the Apocynaceae. It has often been recommended that the Asclepiadaceae be subsumed within the Apocynaceae in order to make the latter monophyletic. To date, however, no comprehensive, unified classification has been established. Here we provide a unified classification for the Apocynaceae, which consists of 424 genera distributed among five subfamilies: Rauvolfioideae, Apocynoideae, Periplocoideae, Secamonoideae, and Asclepiadoideae. Keys to the subfamilies and tribes are provided, with lists of genera that (as far as we have been able to ascertain) are recognized in each tribe. For more details about APG Classification and Characters of Families pls see the following link http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/research/APweb/welcome.html *Here is the info about Asclepiadaceae (as it is described traditionally). Now subfamily of Apocynaceae-**Asclepiadoideae* * * ** * * *Aclepiadaceae (The Milk Weed Family)* 1. These are erect or twining shrubs or perennial herbs, very rarely trees. Sometime fleshy and with reduced non-functional or obsolescent leaves. 2. Leaves opposite or whorled, entire or very rarely lobed or irregularly dentate, exstipulate. 3. Inflorescence cymose, often umbelliform. Sometimes more or les racemosely fascicles along a simple or branched rachis. 4. Flowers generally pentamerous. 5. Calyx 5 free, 5-partite and slightly fused at base. 6. Corolla 5 fused, pentafid, short tube 7. Androecium united in a ring and adnate to style apex. The short filaments ornamented with a nectariferous CORONA of varied forms, the whole forming a pentangular stigmatic disc (GYNOSTEGIUM). Pollen in tetrads united in waxy masses (POLLINIA) attached by caudicles of varied forms to sutured corpuscles derived from style apex 8. Gynoecium formed of 2 free carples united by their style apices and enclosed by the staminal tube. Stigmas connate to form a pentangular disc with which the anthers coherent to form the GYNOSTEGIUM. 9. Fruit an etaerio of two often widely divergent follicles of which sometime one is occasionally abortive 10. Seeds many small usually having a tuft of long hairs which help in dispersal.
