Petals 5, small, bifid, unguiculate, inserted in the segments of 
the calyx. Stamens 10; filaments dilated at the base, 5 of which 
are opposite the petals, and longer than them, with a glandular 
circle on the outside of the pistil. Ovary adhering to the tube

mens. Fruit unknown.—A shrub, with opposite jointed branches. 
Leaves opposite, smooth, full of pellucid dots, a little toothed. 
Peduncles short, bifid or trifid. Flowers small, globular, when

Flowers hermaphrodite, rarely of separate sexes from abor- 
tion, regular. Calyx of 4 or 5 permanent sepals, hardly con- 
nected at the base. Petals 4 or 5, longer than the calyx, spread- 
ing, but sometimes conniving into a tube, twisted in the bud, 
alternating with the sepals, caducous. Stamens double the num- 
ber of the petals, sometimes longer, at other times shorter, than 
them ; filaments each rising from the back of a hairy hypogy- 
nous scale. Anthers birimose. Ovaries 4-5, seated on the gy- 
nophore, which bears the stamens at the base, each ovary con- 
taining only a single ovula. Styles 4-5, emanating from the 
tops of the ovaries, connected in one, terminated by a single 
4-5-lobed stigma, with the lobes distinct or connate. Drupes 
4-5, or fewer from abortion, disposed in a whorl on a common 
receptacle, indehiscent. Seeds pendulous with a membranous 
integument. Embryo without albumen, and with a short supe- 
rior radicle retracted between the cotyledons. Trees or shrubs. 
Leaves without stipulas, alternate for the most part, pinnate, 
very rarely simple; leaflets alternate or opposite, without dots. 
Peduncles axillary or terminal ; panicles racemose or umbellate ; 
pedicels furnished with bracteas. Flowers white, greenish, OT 
purplish. This order differs from Rutdcee in the seeds being 
destitute of perisperm, with a membranous covering instead, and 
in the radicle being as if it were retracted between the thick 
cotyledons, and in each ovary containing only a single ovula. 
It differs from Ochnace@ in having more styles than one, rising 
from the tops of the ovaries, and in the ovula being suspended, 
not erect from the base of the cell, as well as in the anthers 
opening by 2 chinks, not by 2 pores at the apex. All “ 
plants belonging to this order have an intensely bitter bark,
