Gen. Char. Sterile and Fertile Flowers on two distinct plants 
(see figs. 1 & 2). Sterile Flowers. Calyx (see fig. 4.) in 2 
deep, roundish, valve-like segments, at first folded flat together. 
Corolla none. Anthers sessile, strap-shaped, upright, of 2 cells, 
not longer than the calyx. Fertile Flowers. Calyx (sec fig. 5.) 
of 1 sepal, inferior, tubular, cleft at the summit, permanent. Co- 
rolla none. German (see fig. 6.) superior, small, roundish. Style 
(see fig. 5.) short and thick. Stigma simple, oblong, protruding 
beyond the calyx. Nut (see figs. 8 & 9.) 1-seeded, surrounded 
by the enlarged, berrv-like calyx. Seed (see figs. 6 & 7.) solitary, 
oblong, polished, with a furrow at each side. 
The deeply-cloven calyx of the barren flowers ; and the tubular, 
slightly-cleft calyx ; and the 1-seeded nut, surrounded by the en- 
larged, coloured, berry-like calyx of the fertile flowers ; will dis- 
tinguish this from other genera, without a corolla, in the same class 
and order.
