Pênnatis, primariis intra marginem incurvis. Flores in amentis longis pen- 
oe Caudeformibus aggregati, e bracteis constantibus, pubescentibus, in- 
cams, oppositis, connatis, cuspidatis, decussantibus, persistentibus ; masculi 
(fig. 1) cuique bractec 3, pedunculati ; sepalis 4, linearibus, pallide viridi- 
S, membranaceis, pilosis; staminibus totidem sepalis alternis et brevioribus ;

Stylos decussantibus, ovario infero, l-loculari, ovulis duobus ab apice funi- 
culorum brevium pendulis, stigmatibus duobus subulatis (ovario intermedio 
Leid posticisque, lateralium dextrorsis sinistrorsisque). Fructus in amentis 
positi, baccati, pubescentes, oblongi, uniloculares, disperma, stigmatibus 
Persistentibus coronati, Semina oblonga; testa exteriore tenui, suberosa, ;
