In the present revision, the Monodoroideae are regarded as 
sufficiently distinct to be classed as a subfamily, on account 
of their carpels being united into a one-celled ovary, with parietal 
placentation, which is a great advance on the general structure 
of the gynaecium, and on account of their gamopetalous cerolla. 
The remainder of the family is divided into three tribes, the first, 
Uvarieae, showing the most primitive features in that either 
one or both rows of petals are imbricate, and the SS 
nective almost invariably truncate and hiding the thecae, remin 
ing one very much of those of Cycadaceae and some Panabete: 
It is suggested that this type of anther shows relationship, very 
remote though it may be, with these more ancient groups. 
The second tribe, Miliuseae, is distinguished by its valvate , 
petals, but more especially by the outer petals being shorter . 
than the inner, and often scarcely different from the sepals, ’ 
resembling them in shape, texture, and possibly also in colour. /
