Flowers described as polygamo-dioecious, but with us 

 perfect. Calyx of five thick and fleshy ovate sepals, imbri- 

 cated in sestivation, united at the base, persistent. Petals 

 5, perigynous, spatulate-obovate, unguiculate, as long as the 

 calyx, imbricated in asstivation. Stamens 10, alternately 

 opposite the sepals and the petals, inserted into the sinuses 

 of a conspicuous 10-lobed and glandular slightly perigynous 

 disk, those opposite the sepals rather longer than the others : 

 FILAMENTS filiform-subulatc : anthers two-celled, introrse, the 

 cells opening longitudinally. Ovary ovoid, more or less com- 

 pletely three -five-celled, the dissepiments soon breaking 

 away from the walls and adhering to the more persistent 

 columella : styles as many as the cells, usually 3 or 4, short, 

 stigmatose on the inner face. Ovules few, arising from the
