Germen 5-locular or more rarely {Malkasfrum^) few or 1-looular; 

 style erect, subclavate to apex ; top of apex shortly lobate stigmatose ; 

 ovules in cells 3, descendent ; micropyle extrorsely superior. Drupe 

 oftener but sligbtly fleshy ; pyrense 1-5, subcartUaginous, 1-2-sper- 

 mous. Seeds subangular ; albumen fleshy ; cotyledons of curved 

 embryo oblong ; radicle superior. — Small trees or shrubs ; leaves 

 alternate ; imparipinnate or 3-foliolate ; leaflets opposite entire or 

 coarsely serrate ; the terminal larger ; flowers in more or less ramose 

 cymes axillary or lateral to uppermost branches. {Tropical Ada and

3. Munronia Wight.* — Flowers 5-merous ; sepals subfoliaceous 

 rather large, persistent, imbricate. Petals adnate to each other and 

 to staminal tube infundibuliform to middle, free above, patent. 

 Stamens 10 ; tube cylindrical, free above, 10-dentate at apex ; 

 anthers alternate with teeth of tube, silky appendiculate, introrsely 

 rimose. Disk membranous-tubulose, sheathing the germen and base 

 of style. Germen ovoid ; style elongate slender, stigmatose capitellate 

 at apex. Ovules 2 in each of 5 oppositipetalous cells, superposed 

 descendent; micropyle extrorsely superior. Capsule depressed 

 globose subcoriaceous loculicidal ; lobes and cells 5 ; valves solute 

 from 5-alate columella. Seeds in cells 1^ 2, plano-convex ; hilum 

 ventral depressed ; margins incurved alate ; cotyledons of slightly 

 albuminous embryo plane rotundate ; radicle short. — Small under- 

 shrubs ; stork short simple; leaves alternate, imparipinnate or 3- 

 foliolate ; leaflets opposite, entire or dentate ; flowers ^ in axillary 

 few-flowered often subcapitate cymes; pedicels 2-bracteolate.
