Seeds brown; cotyledons flat, undulate. Ovary of two united carpels, disk absent; pistil head composed of an oblong stigmatic basal part and a cleft stigmoid apex Fruit a red, orange or yellow berry; pulp yellow Stamens inserted at the widened part of the tube; anthers cordate at the base, glabrous Inflorescence a loose, elongate, terminal panicle of cymes; pedunculate, often tendril-like Corolla glabrous outside, inside pilose at the widest part of the almost cylindrical tube; corolla lobes overlapping to the left, long-ciliate along the margin that is covered in bud Lianas with curled tendrils; white, sticky latex present in all parts; branches with conspicuous transverse leaf scars, lenticellate, virgate-sarmentose Leaves opposite, exstipulate Ovary of two united carpels, disk absent; pistil head composed of an oblong stigmatic basal part and a cleft stigmoid apex Fruit a red, orange or yellow berry; pulp yellow Stamens inserted at the widened part of the tube; anthers cordate at the base, glabrous Inflorescence a loose, elongate, terminal panicle of cymes; pedunculate, often tendril-like Corolla glabrous outside, inside pilose at the widest part of the almost cylindrical tube; corolla lobes overlapping to the left, long-ciliate along the margin that is covered in bud Lianas with curled tendrils; white, sticky latex present in all parts; branches with conspicuous transverse leaf scars, lenticellate, virgate-sarmentose Leaves opposite, exstipulate

Latex present, abundant. Spines absent. Cymes grouped into terminal panicles. Calyx lobes imbricate, free to base, with conspicuous glandular auricles (in D. lucida). Corolla hypocrateriform; tube cylindrical, slightly enlarged at level of anthers; lobes narrowly linear, contorted, overlapping to the left, long-ciliate on inner margins. Ovary glabrous, multiovulate; clavuncle positioned at base of anthers. Stamens inserted in the corolla tube between 1/4 and 3/4 of its length; filaments very short; anthers without carina. Tendrillous lianes with interpetiolar stipules. Fruit a many-seeded glabrous berry lacking a sclerified layer in the pericarp. Spines absent. Cymes grouped into terminal panicles.
