Panicles terminal, many flowered, with alternate, sub-trichotomous and divided branches, the male and female on different branches (or trees?). Fruits the size of a pea, 4-lobed, gland-dotted.

Notes
If correctly referred to V. lanceolata, Juss., this shrub is also a native of the Mauritius. I follow Planchon, in Herb. Hook., in so referring it. Probably V. paniculata should also be enumerated among the synonyms.
