Dioecious. Calyx-lobes 3-8, those of the male flowers imbri- 
catein bud. Petals none. Stamens often as many as calyx-lobes, 
or fewer or more and opposite to them, round an ovary rudiment ; 
filaments rather long; anthers opening by 2 slits. Disk various, 
situated between the ovary-rudiment and the stamens. Ovary 1- 
celled by suppression, with 2-ovules 3 style terminal or nearly so, 
3- parted, the stigmatic lobes rigid and partly 2-lobed. Fruit a 
sappy drupe, indehiscent, containing a bony grooved putamen usu- 
ally 1-seeded. Seeds without arillus. Albumen present. Cotyle- 
shrubs, with simple leaves. Stipules longer persistent. Flowers 
minute, in simple or branched spikes or racemes.
