Trees shrubs or herbs with opposite orwhorled entire leaves 

 and regular flowers. Tube of the caly.K adherent to the ovary, 

 the limb mostly 4-5-parted or toothed. Corolla inserted upon 

 the summit of the calyx tube, composed of as many united 

 petals as there are lobes of the calyx, mostlv valvate in the 

 bud Stamens inserted into the tube of the corolla, equal in 

 number and alternate with its lobes: anthers introrse. Ovary 

 2-celled with a single ovule in each cell, or 3-several-celled 

 with 1-several ovules in each cell. Style single, sometimes 

 with 2 or more lobes or stigmas. Seeds anatropous or am- 

 plaitropous, solitary, few or numerous in each cell. Embryo
