 sheathing the germen and base of style. Gormen 2-5-locular ; cells 

 1-2-ovulate ; style erect ; apex stigmatose variously dilated oftener 

 discoid or depressed polygonal. Fruit subglobular or ovoid or piri- 

 form, woody or coriaceous or partly fleshy, indéhiscent or capsular, 

 loculicidally 2-5-valvate ; seeds more or less fully arillate ; coty-
