bordered above by the decurrent margins of the blade, younger ones 
golden-pubescent ; stipules linear-subulate, -3 to -4 in. long, quickly 
caducous. Flowers fascicled, about 5 to 6 together, on raised tubercles 
above the scars of fallen leaves on year-old wood ; pedicels in fruit 
thick, -5 to -6 in. long, golden-pubescent. Calyx-lobes 4, in fruit ovate- 
acute or rounded, densely golden-pubescent on both surfaces, thick ; 
rest unknown. Fruit a globose, golden-pubescent, berry somewhat 
depressed at top and bearing the remains of the persistent style,

Trees, often of great size and containing a milky juice. Leaves

covered beneath with a dense silky or tawny pubescence. Flowers 
fasciculate, in the axils of the leaves or of the scars of fallen 
leaves, pedicellate. Calyx of 6 lobes, the outer 3 valvate, the inner 3 
imbricate. Corolla usually campanulate, tube short ; lobes 6, imbricate, 
often contorted in bud. Stamens 12 or more (up to 18), opposite to and 
alternate with the corolla-lobes, those alternate often shorter and some- 
times inserted higher up the tube ; anthers ovate-lanceolate, dehiscence 
extrorse, connective produced ; staminodes none. Ovary villous, 6-eelled ; 
style subulate. Fruit a fleshy, ovoid or ellipsoid, berry, 1-2-seeded. 
Seeds large, exalbuminous ; the testa crustaceous ; cotyledons thick,
