 short axillary peduncles. Sepals 3, ovate or triangular, valvate. Petals 6, 

 2-seriate, subequal or inner smaller, long, flat, valvate. Stamens linear, 

 anther-cells approximate extrorse ; connective produced into a lanceolate 

 acute process (truncate in 3? monosperma). Ovaries many; style oblong 

 (orO?): stigmas subcapitate; ovules numerous, 2-seriate. Btpe carpd^ 

 many, berried, stalked or sessile. Seeds many, testa crustaceous, pitted, 

 sending spinous processes into the albumen — Distrib. All Malayan.--' 

 Reduced to Unona by Baillon (Hist, PI, i 209), but besides the marked 

 characters of flowers and stamens, ovules and seeds, the habit is very dif- 

 ferent. Baillon also retains the name of Cananga for the American plants 

 erroneously referred by Aublet to Kumph's Cananga.
