attached near the top of the corolla-tube; anther-cells distinct, narrowly 
oblong, pendulous. Capsule oblong, flattened parallel to the septum, 
septicidally 2-valved. Seeds thinly discoid, completely surrounded (except 
at their base) by a hyaline entire wing.—Species 3, 2 in Malaya, 1 in 
ssam. 
The Malay species, on which the genus is founded, are described and figured with 
5 fertile stamens, having the anther-cells combined. The Assam species constitutes a 
marked sub-genus.
