Female flowers: perianth like that of the male; staminodes small; ovary globose, 1-locular; ovule pendulous with an ascendent funicle, affixed laterally or nearly at the base of the loculus; styles 3, slightly connate at the base or free; stigmas capitate. Drupe usually reniform, sometimes subglobose or globose; epicarp black and shining; mesocarp fleshy, lacunose, with the lacunae full of oil; endocarp cartilaginous. Cotyledons obovate, compressed.
