7-merous Howers. In the bud of one of the hexamerous flowers 

 slight imbrication could be observed at the very base of the 

 segments. There were two outermost and two innermost segments, 

 and two which were overlapping on one side and overlapped 

 on the other. This imbrication was, however, not to be compared 

 with the distinctly imbricate aestivation of the Connareae and 

 Jollydoreae. The latter also have indehiscent fruits like Reman- 

 dradema, but endospermless seeds with large fleshy cotyledons.
