 small, in short 3-chotomous axillary branching cymes, sessile and often 

 crowded. Calyx-tube cylindric or campanulate, minutely bracteate at 

 the base ; limb 5-8-lobed, the lobes erect, short, valvate. Petals 5-8, 

 inserted on the margin of a crenulated disk lining the calyx-tube, 

 clawed, orbicular, 2-fid or entire, subserrate or lacerate at the apex. 

 Disc epigynous, 10-16-lobed. Stamens inserted with the petals, fila- 

 ments filiform ; anthers small, oblong. Style subulate or filiform. 

 Fruit small, globose, coriaceous, 1-celled, 1 -seeded (unknown in two 

 species). Seed globose-reniform, testa fibrous, embryo curved. — Dis- 

 trib. Species about 12, natives of the Indian Ocean.
