 anthers inappendiculate glabrous or puberulous. Germen 3-gonal, 

 3-locular ; styles 3, unequal in length, agglutinate to each other, 

 finally solute, dilately truncate atstigmatose apex. Fruit 1-3 carpels, 

 longitudinally cristate at back, indéhiscent. — Slu-ubs ; leaves oppo-

 equal unguiculate, imbricate. Stamens 10 ; filaments free or connate 

 at base, glabrous or more rarely [BlejjJiarandra ^) densely villose ; 

 anthers introrse inappendiculate, glabrous or more rarely {Blephar-

 cotyledons of exalbuminous embryo inflexed or incurved round fold 

 of testa incumbent, equal or unequal ; radicle rather long. — Trees, 

 shrubs, or sometimes under-shrubs ; leaves opposite eglandulose or 

 oftener glandulose from sometimes dentate or creuate margin to the
