Abstract

Trees or shrubs, evergreen or deciduous. Leaves opposite, petiolate, pinnately compound, rarely unifoliolate, serrate, stipulate; stipels usually present but sometimes reduced to glands or absent. Inflorescences terminal or axillary in upper leaves, paniculate. Flowers perfect, hermaphroditic, actinomorphic; sepals 5, distinct or united, unequal, imbricate; petals 5, free, fused for part of their length or fused to form a short floral cup, unequal, imbricate in bud, often inserted on or below acrenateorlobeddisk; stamens 5, arising outsideoforbetweenthelobesofthedisk, alternate with the petals; filaments complanate; anthers 2-celled, dorsi fixed, introrse, dehiscing longitudinally; ovary superior to partially inferior, 2-3(4)-carpellate, the carpels nearly free or united, sessile, the stylodia at least partially free but distally fused to form a capitate, wet stigma; placentation axile, ovules few-many in 2 series on ventral suture. Fruit a berry, a membranous inflated capsule, or a multifollicle; seeds with a straight, green embryo and copious or rarely scanty fleshy endosperm.
