In the info I have (Central America & Mexico) Samaeos have red and purple berries with 2 seeds (4 species), and the Calys have Red, purple,white, green, brown and yellow berries with 2 seeds per berry (16 species). There is some mention of berry shape, but these shapes seem to vary. Berry color and shape number of seeds may be helpful in some sections of anthurium (many porphys have a flattened,depressed apex on the berry) buy you can see berry color and number of seeds is not very helpful in seperating Semaeos and Calys.
