Flores spurie polygami, masculi et feminei (hermaphroditos mentientes) in iisdem 

 inflorescentiis, reguläres, parvi. Calyx (ut in Matayba) breviter cupularis, praecociter 

 apertus, 5-fidus,laciniis 3-angularibus puberulis. Petala 5, brevia, calycem vix superantia, 

 late obovata vel deltoidea, vix unguiculata, intus basi squama perlata subemarginata 

 praesertim dorso villosa supra disci marginem cucullato-decurvata aucta margineque 

 cum ea i connata, inde peltato-cyathiformia. Discus regularis, 5-lobus, centro circa 

 stamina in marginem elevatum sinuatum interdum sat altum membranaceo-cupularem 

 productus, glaber. Stamina (6 — 10), intra disci marginem interiorem elevatum circa 

 pistillum inserta (floris 5 breviora), filiformia, glabra, antheris brevibus dorso supra 

 basin emarginatam affixis; pollinis granula trigono-placentiformia, triporosa. Pistillum 

 (floris (J rudimentarium, pilosum) ovoideum, 3-loculare, minutim tuberculatum et 

 hispide pilosum, tuberculis seta validiore brevi incurvata coronatis, in stylum fili- 

 formem elongatum pilosum terminatum, stigmate perbreviter 3-lobo, lobis interdum 

 recurvatis. Capsula 3-gono-subglobosa, e crasse coriaceo fibroso-lignosa, sicca indurata, 

 sessilis, plerumque abortu 1-locularis, 1-sperma, loculicide 3-valvis, valvis inaequalibus, 

 duabus seminis dorsum et latera obtegentibus majoribus, attamen septorum nuUum 

 vestigium exhibentibus, tertia ad seminis ventrem dimidio angustiore basi loculos 

 abortivos axem et septorum rudimenta fovente, praeter apicem obtusum echinato-

 nunc longiuscule subulatis basi constrictis et detergibilibus (P. longifoliolatum) vel 

 dilatatis persistentibus {P. macrophyllum), nunc sat alte pyramidatis [P, acantho- 

 carpum), nunc breviter et late conicis (P. xestophyllum), glabris vel sufferrugineo- 

 puberulis {P. longifoliolatum), intus glabra, pericarpio crasso plerumque radiatim 

 fibroso et lignoso, rarius coriaceo-carnoso (P. longifoliolatum). Semen depresse globosum 

 vel transversim ellipsoideum, dorso tantum liberum testa crustaceo-coriacea laevi 

 nitida spadicea, ceterum cum pericarpio connatum, denique solutum, hilo maximo 

 deraso pallido tela crystallophora (perperam a cl. Miquel >>arillus<< dicta) obducto.

 Sita descendente plica testae lata excepta.

 pinnata, rarissime foliolo terminali abortivo pari-pinnata; foliola 1 — 5-juga, jugo 

 supremo foliolo terminali approximato, elliptica vel lanceolata, integerrima vel remote 

 serrata, brevius longiusve petiolulata, coriacea, pinnatinervia, supra laevigata, subtus
