vel 5-sepalus, Petala 4-5, libera, in unica specie (G. Africana) inter se 
et cum tubo stamineo inferne connata, erecta, oblonga, in æstivatione 
valvata vel imbricata. Stamina 8-10, in tubum petalis paullo breviorein 
dentatum integrumve intus sub apice antheriferum coalita, antheris 
sessilibus, plerumque cum tubi denticulis alternis. Pollinis granula

luta arillum simnlante plerunque vestita, cotyledonibus superpositis 
crassis, radicula dorsali transversali intra cotyledones sub eorum su- 
perficie retracta. — Arbores fruticesve. Folia abrupto-pinnata, apice 
foliolis abortivis gemmu!am simulantibus terminata, foliolis integer- 
rimis, epunctatis vel raro parce et minute pellucido-punctulatis. Inflo- 
rescentia axillaris vel e ramis defoliatis vel et e trunco oriunda, pani- 
eulata vel racemiformis vel et spiciformis. Flores hermaphroditi. In 
omnibus speciebus adhuc notis antherze gynophorumque glabra, tubus 
stamineus fere in omnibus glaber, in paucissimis tamen pilis raris 
externe instructus et in uniea (G. Africana) intus retrorsum villosus.
