Flowers bisexual, of large size. Sepals 4-5, separate or united at 
base, free, or adhering to the fleshy receptacle (torus) which surrounds 
the ovary. Petals numerous, in several rows, the inner ones narrower 
and shorter, gradually assuming the appearance of stamens. Stamens 
inserted within the petals, indefinite, in several rows ; filaments flat 
and petaloid ; anthers adhering to the face of the filament, two celled, 
opening longitudinally inwards. Carpels numerous, immersed in the 
fleshy receptacle, and thus united into a plurilocular ovary, crowned 
with radiating sessile, linear stigmas, alternating with the dissepiments, 
Ovules very numerous, anatropal, affixed to both surfaces of the dissepi- 
ments. Fruit baccate, many celled, indehiscent. Seeds with much 
flowery albumen, anda minute embryo, lodged within a proper sac, near 
the base of the seed. a
