Trunk erect, slender. Branches falling off as a whole. Flowers pale 

 yellowish green. ^ , 



This genus is near Cleistantlins^ from which it is distinguished by the 

 triraerous flowers with, in the males^ petals much longer than sepals, the 

 members of each whorl being entirely free, the absence of a rndiment of tlie 

 gyntecium from the male flowers, and the free sepals and petals of the female 

 flowers which are without a disc.
