Discussion

Species 5 (1 in the flora).

The fruit of Paliurus was described by C. Schirarend and M. N. Olabi (1994) as a dry, indehiscent drupe. The gynoecium base in Paliurus begins to swell laterally following fertilization, forming a persistent, disciform, cupulate, or hemispheric wing of varying thickness (D. O. Burge and S. R. Manchester 2008). This enlarged and winglike receptacle is diagnostic of the genus.
