They are characterised by alternate, usually pinnate leaves without [stipules](/source/Stipule), and by [syncarpous](/source/Glossary_of_botanical_terms#syncarpous), apparently cryptically unisexual flowers borne in [panicles](/source/Panicle), [cymes](/source/Cyme_(botany)), [spikes](/source/Raceme#Spike) or clusters.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] Most species are [evergreen](/source/Evergreen), but some are [deciduous](/source/Deciduous), either in the [dry season](/source/Dry_season) or in winter.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] The family includes about 53 genera and about 600 known species,[2] with a pantropical distribution; one genus (*[Toona](/source/Toona)*) extends north into temperate China and south into southeast Australia, another (*Synoum*) into southeast Australia, and another (*Melia*) nearly as far north. They most commonly grow as understory trees in rainforests, but are also found in mangroves and arid regions.[3] The fossil record of the family extends back into the [Late Cretaceous](/source/Late_Cretaceous).[4] Fruits of *[Chisocheton cumingianus](/source/Chisocheton_cumingianus)* ## Uses This section does not cite any sources.
