(much smaller than any in Acmadenia); (5) disc flat at the base of the ovary (does not surround the ovary); (6) stigma simple (not capitate); (7) style quite thick, at first completely deflexed, then more or less erect, 4 mm long, villous about the middle (not short and glabrous); (8) ovary and fruit 5-carpellate with short shovel-shaped apical processes (quite unlike any in Acmadenia).
