Flores spurie polygami, regulares, parvi. Calyx 

 parvus, breviter cupularis, 5-dentato-lobatus, praecociter 

 apertus, lobis non nisi basi subimbricatis, persistens, 

 subcoriaceus, varie pubescens. Petala 5, sepalis paullo 

 longiora, rarissime (in sect. I.) rudimentaria, ex obovato 

 vel suborbiculari (rarissime lanceolate-) in unguem brevem 

 contractu, supra unguem squamis 2 (quasi auriculis 

 inflexis) petalis ipsis plerumque majoribus rotundatis 

 plus minus villosis liberis supra disci marginem inflexis 

 aucta. Discus regularis, tumide annularis, glaber vel 

 (interdum intus tantum) tomentosus. Stamina 8, (in 

 floribus cf) perianthio duplo triplove longiora; filamenta 

 subfiliformia, inferne plerumque pubescentia; antlierae 

 glabrae vel puberulae, filamentis multoties breviores, 

 dorso supra basin emarginatam affixae, rimis lateralibus 

 dehiscentes ; polliuis granula ut in Cupania. Germen 

 3-gono-subglobosum vel obovoideum, 3-, rarius 2-loculare, 

 plerumque densius laxiusve pubescens (floris rf rudi- 

 mentarium); stylus germine brevior vel aequilongus, 

 simplex et superne lineis stigmatosis 2—3 suturalibus 

 notatus vel apice 2— 3-lobus, raro (in sectione I.) in 



stigmata 2 — 3 dorsalia intus papillosa recurvata divisus ; 

 o-emmulae in loculis solitariae, ercctae, camptotropae, 

 apotropae. Capsula (ut in Cupania) loculicide 3- (2-) 

 valvis, ellipsoideo-subglobosa vel obovoidea, nunctrigona, 

 nunc alato- vel subcoccato- 2 — 3-loba, longius bre- 

 viusve stipitata, interdum verrucosa, subdrupacea, sarco- 

 carpio cellulis resinigeris et nonnunquam cellulis pachy- 

 dermicis coacervatis foeto, extus varie pubescens glabrave, 

 intus nunc dense tomentosa, nunc glandulosa (M. scro- 

 Uculata), nunc glabra. Semina (ut in Cupania) ellip- 

 soidea, testa glabra laevi nitida, plerumque spadiceo- 

 nisra. arillo nunc brevi, nunc altiorc carnoso albo, 

 sicco flavescente, cincta. Embryo (ut in Cupania) 

 plerumque exacte (rarius — in M. arboresc. — oblique) 

 lomatorrhizus , amylo (tanninoque) foetus , rarius (in 

 M. arboresc.) cellulis resinigeris quoque instructus, 

 radicula plica testae excepta. 



Arbores fruticesve. Rami teretes, Hh sulcati, 

 praesertim in sulcis lenticellosi, juniores varie pubescentes 

 vel glabriusculi. Folia sparsa vel raro (in sect. I ) 

 subopposita, exstipulata, petiolata, foliolo terminali semper 

 deficiente abrupte pinnata, in iisdem speciebus (immo 

 ramis) aut pari- pinnata aut foliolis alternis spurie 

 impari-pinnata (foliolo laterali summo terminate mentiente), 

 rhacheos apice interdum (in M. guianensis et M leuco- 

 dictyae speciminibus nonnuUis) foliolorum primordiis 

 (fere ut in GuareaJ ornato; foliola 2 — 20, alternantia 

 vel saepius subopposita, plerumque ovali-oblonga vel ellip- 

 tico-lanceolata , interdum obovata, superior a plerumque 

 major a, omnia apice obtusa acutave, basi plerumque 

 sensim abruptiusve acutata, petiolulata vel sessilia, inte- 

 gerrima, rarissime (in M. scrobiculataj dentata vel (in 

 M. heterophylla) serrulata, margine nonnunquam revo-
