Flores spurie polygami, <$ et $ ($ mentientes) saepius in eadem inflorescentia, 

 reguläres vel interdum petalorum numero incompleto subsymmetrici, mediocres. 

 Sepala 5, suborbicularia vel late obovata, concava, imbricata, 2 exteriora minora, 

 membranacea, praeter marginem glanduloso-ciliolatum glabra, interdum cellulis 

 secretoriis, etsi raris, instructa, denique decidua. Petala 5 vel (sede inter sepalum 

 3, et 5. vacua) 4, interdum (in eadem specie) 3 vel 2 tantum, ovalia, sepala sub- 

 aequantia, perbreviter unguiculata, praeter marginem ciliolatum plerumque subglabra 

 (in 1 tantum specie — A. dasy petala — dorso aureo-sericea), extus papulosa, intus 

 supra basin utrinque auriculato-inflexa vel auriculis connatis squama brevi ovata 

 emarginata vel recurvato-retusa margine hirsuta aucta, in 1 specie (A. Boerlagei) 

 fasciculis pilorum tantum munita. Discus completus, subpatellaris, margine libero 

 5-crenatus vel 5-lobus, glaber, interdum ante sepalum 3. et 5. paullulo angustior (nee 

 vero, uti Pierre in A. viridi et A. Philastreana delineavit, re vera hippoerepiformis). 

 Stamina 8 — 5, intra discum inserta, subexserta (floris $ breviora); filamenta filiformia, 

 basi crassiora pilosa recurva apice ereeta; antherae sagittato-ovatae, introrsae, obtusae 

 vel apiculatae, dorso supra excisuram basalem affixae, glabrae vel pilis glandulosis 

 tenerrimis adspersae, connectivo fusco, locellis pallidis; pollinis granula trigono- 

 placentiformia, 3-porosa vel (in A. senegalensi) subgloboso-ellipsoidea, 3-sulcata, sulcis 

 medio 1-porosis, inter sulcos subtiliter punctata. Germen (floris <$ rudimentarium) 

 obeordatum, plerumque 2-coccum (coccis, ut videtur, ante sepalum 4. transversis vel, 

 quod in siccis vix tuto discernendum, ante sepalum 2. medianis), 2-loculare, raro (in 

 eadem specie) 3-coccum, 3-loculare, glabrum; Stylus inter coecos breviusculus, apice 

 2 — 3-lobus, lobis dorsalibus intus stigmatosis erectis vel reflexis, marginibus interdum 

 in striam stigmatosam suturalem decurrentibus (quasi lobis ipsis declive suturalibus); 

 gemmulae in loculis solitariae, supra basin anguli centralis affixae, adscendentes, 

 campylotropae, apotropae, micropyle extus infera. Fructus drupaceus, coccato- 

 lobatus, 2-, raro 3-, interdum abortu 1-coccus, perbreviter stipitatus, coccis ellipsoideis 

 obovoideis vel subglobosis divaricatis, endocarpio crustaceo vel tenuiter chartaceo, e 

 cellularum stratis duobus exstrueto — cellulis strati exterioris sat profundis paehy- 

 dermicis, strati interioris tenerioribus epithelialibus (immo saepe aegrius perspiciendis)> 

 in A. senegalensi vero plerumque nee non in A. nicobarica et A. Philastreana sat pachy- 

 dermicis — extus (praesertim in A. senegalensi) venarum reti ^ areto cellulisque 

 sclerenchymaticis (in A. nicobarica) suffulto. Semina coccis conformia, testa tenui e 

 tela spongiiformi exstrueta, brunnea, hilo parvo suborbiculari, arillo nullo. Embryo 

 rectiusculus; cotyledones crassae, altera dorsali, altera (saepius minore) ventrali, 

 amylo faretis; radicula basilaris, brevissima, papilliformis. 



Frutices, interdum subscandentes, vel arbores mediocres, glabrae. Folia sparsa, 

 abrupte et quidem plerumque pari-pinnata, 1 — 5-juga, rarius simplicia integra vel 

 pinnatiseeta et transeuntia in impari-pinnata, longiuscule vel interdum (jugo infimo 

 praesertim in foliis superioribus subbasilari) perbreviter petiolata (A. senegalensis, 

 longipes, cuspidata, montana), exstipulata; foliola plerumque opposita, petiolulata, 

 ovalia vel oblonga, integerrima, subcoriacea, glabra, sicca plerumque livescentia, 

 diaehymate in plerisque (exceptis A. sphaerococca, longipede, cuspidata, Boerlagei, 

 paueijuga, dictyophylla, rubra et danura) cellulis secretoriis etsi interdum raris {A. 

 philippinensis, angustifolia, Loheri, macrophylla) vel non semper obviis (.4. nicobarica,
