identify species of Jarilla__Although flowers of <i>Jarilla chocola</i> are generally white, they can have reddish longitudinal stripes or be yellowish.<br>All stamens are pedicellate. The filaments can be slightly pubescent or glabrous. The connective is densely pubescent._<i>Jarilla heterophylla</i> is a woody scrambler clinging to understory plants using them as support or is found creeping on the ground. Its fruits and flowers are much smaller than those of <i>J. caudata</i> and the fruits bear 5 short appendages at the base.__UnspecifiedTaxonomy_Leaves in <i>Jacaratia</i> are compound with all leaflets attached at the apex of the petiole. Leaflets are the divisions of a compound leaf. When more than one leaf in a specimen was present all measurements were done in the most apical one.____The habit of a plant. All <i>Jarilla</i> species are herbs.Growing along the surface of the ground. Sometimes using other plants as support (but never as a truly climber)Vertical, not spreading along the ground<i>Jarilla</i> species occur in four main shapes of leaf, defined mostly by the shape of the base and of the margins.bearing lobesHeart shape, with the node at the baseArrowhead shaped. In hastate leaves the basal lobes turned outward rather than downward as in the sagittated ones.egg-shaped leaf attached to the petiole at the broad endTotal length of the leaf (given in centimeters).Referring to the environment where the plant grows.Forests where a majority of the trees lose their foliage at the end of the growing season.Forests in frost free regions with several months of drought where some trees lose their foliage after the growing season.

The surface is a useful character for identifying <i>Jarilla chocola</i> with its 5 longitudinal wings; the other two species have smooth surfaces.___Referring to the presence or absence of trichomes (=hairs) on the leaves.Leaves with trichomes (=hairs) bellowLeaves without trichomes (= hairs) bellowMeasuring from the base of the leaf stalk to the apex (where the leaf blade inserts).Measuring from the base of the inflorescence stalk to the first ramification.In case of an infructescence, the stalk is measured up to the first ramification._________________it does not matter if is an inflorescence with only one flower or many, the stalk here is always the longest stalk from the branch of the plant until the first bract.___________Although the aerial parts of <i>Jarilla</i> species die out during the winter, there are underground structures (the tubers) that store water and nutrients allowing the plants to survive during the dry season._____true___Although flowers of <i>Jarilla chocola</i> are generally white, they can have reddish longitudinal stripes or be yellowish.<br>All stamens are pedicellate.
