Diagnosis
Pistillate flower minute actinomorphic or slightly zygomorphic, hypogynous, with a calyx of six sepals, a biseriate corolla and an apocarpous gynoecium of six carpels. A single or few staminodes might have been present. The sepals are membranous, brittle, larger than petals. The outer petals are relatively thick, valvate. The inner petals are much smaller, with apical glands, supposedly nectariferous. The carpels are ascidiform, unilocular, with a short style, densely pubescent.
