Information

Erect, suberect, trailing or climbing shrubs, rarely small trees. Leaves alternate, petiolate, entire, usually with glands on undersurface at base, and sometimes with 2 rows of smaller glands parallel to the margins, exstipulate. Inflorescences few- to many-flowered corymbs, racemes or panicles, axillary or terminating leafy branches; bracts present and persistent, small; bracteoles at base of pedicels, sometimes with a circular gland at base. Flowers actinomorphic or nearly so. Calyx ± coriaceous, with 1 or more subcircular sessile or sunken glands; lobes 5, equal or subequal, obtuse. Petals 5, white or yellow, usually clawed, longer than sepals, entire, fimbriate or lacerate. Stamens 10; anthers basifixed, glabrous; filaments usually thick, somewhat broadened and connate at base, glabrous. Ovary 3-locular, but usually with 1 locule abortive, usually densely sericeous or tomentose-sericeous; styles 2, terete, curved inwards. Samara with a straight or oblique dorsal wing.
