VI. FAUREA, Harv. 
Flowers hermaphrodite, zygomorphic. Perianth tubular in bud 
with an oblong or obovoid to clavate limb, on opening split anticously 
by the emerging style down to or nearly to the base so that the 
anticous (abaxial) segment becomes detached with the exception of 
the base which remains usually more or less united with the 
perianth, the other segments permanently united into a flattened- 
out, spreading or recurved sheath bearing the more or less sepa- 
rating or cohering spoon-shaped limbs. Stamens 4, inserted at the 
base of the limb, all fertile; filaments very short ; anthers linear 
or linear-oblong ; connective usually produced into a small apical. 
gland. Hypogynous scales 4, free, lanceolate, subulate or triangular, 
indurated and persistent on the dise-shaped torus. Ovary ovoid or 
ellipsoid, covered with long hairs; style more or less curved, 
filiform, rigid, glabrous, long persistent ; stigma terete or quad- 
rangular, gradually or with a small bend passing into the style. 
Ovule 1, lateral. Fruit a long-villous nut. 
Trees or shrubs ; leaves alternate, petioled, entire, coriaceous, usually more 
or less glabrous, and shining above at least when mature and more or less pro-
