breviusculis ; antherae dorso basi affixae, exsertae, lanceolatae basi 
loculis discretis. Discus depressus nec lobatus. Ovarium plerumque 
5-loculare ; stylus crassiusculus medio in globum depressum corollae 
fauces claudentem inflatus utrinque attenuatus, stigmate majus- 
culo mitraeformi peltato ; ovula in loculis solitaria infra apicem 
loculi pendula amphitropa. Fructus drupaceus majusculus basi

Flores inter medioeres in umbellis involucratis brevibus axilla- 
ribus dispositi. 
Undoubtedly a member of the tribe Vanguerier, and unique in 
the structure of the style. The nearest genus is Cuviera, from which
