Flowers dicecious, rarely casually monecious, dichlamydeous. Male: 
Calyx usually lepidote, globose, slightly apiculate and closed in bud, 
splitting into 2-3 valvate lobes. Petals connate in a 4-6- (usually 
5-) lobed corolla, rarely free, shorter than the calyx. Stamens 8-15, 
1-2-seriate with often 2-5 central, on an elevated cylindric-conical 
glabrous receptacle surrounded at the base by a ring of free or connate 
extra-staminal glands alternating with stamens of the outer series ; fila- 
ments short, free ; anthers 2-celled, cells parallel, adnate throughout to 
a rather broad somewhat produced often slightly emarginate connective, 
dehiscence longitudinal, subintrorse. Rudimentary ovary 0. Female: 
Valyx usually 5-lobed, less often 4-lobed ; lobes glandular or not on the 
margin or at the base. Petals 5 or 4, free, white, imbricate, as long as 
or exceeding the calyx. Disk shallow urceolate, entire or lobed.
