length I 5 to 8 in., breadth -65 to "1 in. Panicles shorter than the 

 leaves, few-flowered, rusty-tomentose ; branchlets and pedicels with 

 linear-oblong bracts. Floivers polygamous, '35 in. long. Calyx large, 

 keeled, with 3 deep broad triangular connivent rusty-toraentose segments. 

 Petals narrowly elliptic, slightly exserted, densely pale tomentose with 

 a glabrous spot on the base inside. 8laviens 6, inserted by short 

 filaments on the edge of a thin hypogynous annular glabrous disc, very 

 small in the pistillate flowers. Ovary depressed sub-globular, glabrous, 

 the style basi-lateral ; the stigma depressed, capitate, obscurely 3-lobed. 

 Drupe obliquely sub-globose, glabrous, about '5 in. in diam. Bennet

Reziniferous trees. Leaves alternate, 3-foliolate or imparipinnate, 

 firm ; leaflets opposite, slightly oblique, entire. Floioers in uniformly 

 hermaphrodite, axillary or terminal branched panicles ; the stipules, 

 (if any) fugacious, bracts usually obsolete, bracteoles minute. Calyx 

 cupuliform, 3-lobed or .3-fid, valvate. Petals 3, valvate or sub-imbricate, 

 broad and truncate at the base, exceeding the calyx. Disc annular, 

 fleshy, adnate. Stamens 6, distinct, usually inflexed, inserted on the 

 margin or outside of the disc. Ovary 3-celled, with 2 ovules in each 

 cell ; style shoi-t, stigma capitate or 3-lobed. Drupe ellipsoidal or 

 sub-globose, more or less laterally compressed on the ventral side, and 

 the scar of the stigma usually lateral or basal, 1-celled, 1 -seeded ; the 

 stone crustaceous, rarely woody, Cotyledons contortuplicate. — Distrib.
