Quoting from an old book: "The Treasury of Botany" 1876 [abridged]
With the exception of 1 West African sp, the whole of this large genus
of Sapindaceae, about 80 species, comes from the tropical regions of+++++-------------
the Western hemisphere.. Nearly all are climbing shrubs with tendrils,
divided compound leaves and racemes of white flowers with two opposite
tendrils below them
What's going on here?
I collect bromeliads. There are around 3000 known species. ALL BUT ONE OF THEM IS IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE. THE LONE EXCEPTION OCCURS IN WEST AFRICA.
