Characteristics

Trees, mostly (and always in the Flora area) of palm-like habit with a terminal cluster of leaves and flowers. Leaves pinnate; leaflets entire. Flowers regular, in usually extensive panicles; sepals 5, markedly imbricate, free, glabrous to densely hairy; petals 5, ciliate, scale tongue-shaped, shorter than petal-limb; disk cup-shaped, glabrous (in Flora area) or hairy, sometimes a double ring. Stamens 9–30, with long-pilose filaments; anthers rather small, lanceolate. Ovary deeply 3-lobed; style exceeding ovary, 3-furrowed, ± persistent in fruit. Fruit of 1–3 globose to ovoid indehiscent mericarps but usually 1(–2) failing to develop and persisting at base of mature one(s).
