Mesocarp lacking sclereids, with outer zone of radially elongate parenchymatous cells, inner zone of smaller cells. At least one vascular bundle parallel to each germination valve ridge between mesocarp and endocarp. Locule lining of one to two rows of longitudinally elongate fibers, square to rectangular in cross section. Seed coat uniseriate with prominent cuticle. Endosperm with copious contents. Cotyledons of embryo flat, closely appressed, with three vascular bundles.
