ferruginous pubescence. —Calyx three-leaved, independently of two

the calyx, permanent.— Nectary a variously lobed, smooth scale from '

inserted without the interior, three-angular nectary ; bifid, the in-

bulate, rising rather higher t than the anther. — Germ superior, two- 
celled, with two ovula in each, attached to the thickened middle of the 
partition. Style single, short. Stigma obscurely two-lobed.. —Drupe.
