Information

Flowers hermaphrodite. Sepals 3, ovate or lanceolate, acute, free. Petals 6, free, in two series, valvate in æstivation; outer petals sepaloid, but slightly exceeding the sepals; inner petals much longer than the outer, rather thin, plane or the margins reflexed; the base concave, surrounding the genitalia. Stamens indefinite, closely imbricate upon a hemispherical torus; anthers sessile, cuneate-oblong, extrorse, the connective truncate, transversely rhomboidal. Carpels 4–6, united at the apex in a sessile, depressed-globose, obscurely-lobed, pilose, deciduous stigma; ovules 6–10, in 1 or 2 series upon the ventral suture. Fruit not seen (said to consist in one species of united carpels). Trees, with subsessile leaves, with numerous secondary nerves and obscure transversely parallel venation, and simple or panicled cymose racemes, from wood of a previous year.
