Glabrous or hoary-tomentose resinous trees. Leaves quite entire, firiDj 

 inconspicuously feather-veined ; stipules small, deciduous (>r inconspicuous. 

 Flowers sessile or shortly pedicelled, ebracteate, in lax panicles of unilateral 

 racemes. Calyx-tube very short, adnate to the receptacle, segments obtuse, 

 imbricate. Stamens 15, or rarely 10, slightly connate; anthers ovate, con- 

 nective subulate-cuspidate, valves obtuse equal. Ovary 3-celled, the cells 

 2-ovuled; style shortly cylindric or subulate. Nut 1-seeded, closely sur- 

 rounded by the bases of the accrescent calyx-segments, 2 of which are 

 developed into linear wings. Erahryo as in 6'Aorm.— Distrib. of Sfwrm; 

 species about 35.— The separation of this genus from Hhyrea is somewnai
