apice stigmatoso integro v. plus minus lobato; ovulis in loculis 2-5, 
plerumque 2-4, descendentibus, sæpe ex parte imperfecus. Fructus 
varius, baccatus v. drupaceus, globosus, ovoideus v. oblongus; puta- 
mine plus minus crasso duroque, nunc inæqui-intruso. Semina 
pauca v. 1, oblonga, albuminosa; embryone axil tereti; radicula 
cotyledonibus multo longiore. — Arbores v. frutices (plerumque 
siccitate flavescentes) glabri v. varie induti; folus alternis, membra- 
naceis v. coriaceis, integri sv. dentatis; floribus in spicas v. racemos 
axillares, laxos v. densos, nunc paucifloros v. 1-floros, parce v. 
minute bracteatos, dispositis. (Asia, Oceania et America calid*.)
