 clavate obtuse style stigmatose very short or scarcely perceptible. 

 Ovules 00, inserted oo-seriately on longitudinal placentas, minute. 

 Fruit capsular, clavate or oblong-obovoid, loculicidal. Seeds oo, 

 crowded subhorizontal (very small), compressed or marginate ; embryo 

 small albuminous. — Glabrous trees ; leaves opposite lanceolate cori-

 turbinate. Calyx short ; lobes or 'teeth 5, very dissimilar ; the smaller 

 3, 4, sometimes scarcely visible ; the larger 1, 2 (rarely 3) produced 

 to a coloured foliaceous petiolate lamina.' Corolla tubular elongate, 

 pilose or villose within, sometimes glabrous below (Pogonopus^); lobes 

 of limb 5, short, valvate, recurved, glabrous within (Pogonopus) or 

 tomentose. Stamens 5 ; filaments inserted at middle (Pogonopus) or 

 base of tube ; anthers oblong introrse, exserted, versatile. Germen 

 2-celled ; disk epigynous rather thick ; branches of slender exserted 

 style 2, linear oblong, obtuse or very short. Ovules oo, inserted on 

 2 -lamellate placentas. Fruit capsular obovoid, subglobose {Pogonopus) 

 or obcordate-sub-2-dymous (Eupinckneya) , loculicidally 2-valved ; 

 valves 2 -partible. Seeds oo, small compressed or subcuneate ; testa 

 rather thick sometimes loosely reticulate, spongy dilated ; cotyledons 

 of longish embryo elliptico -ovate ; radicle rather obtuse. — Small trees 

 or shrubs, glabrous or tomentose (Eupinchieya) ; leaves opposite
