Trees or shrubs. Leaves small to large, alternate, margin entire or serrate, sometimes wavy. Inflorescences terminal and/or lateral, branched or unbranched, sometimes arranged in corymb-or panicle-like structures. Calyx-lobes 5, separate from the beginning. Corolla white or pale yellow, with elongate-cylindrical or campanulate tube and spreading to recurved lobes. Stamens: anthers exserted as a rule, on filiform filaments. Ovary: style terminal, with two branches free in the uppermost part or to the middle; stigmas 2, capitate or elongate. Fruit a subglobose drupe, yellow, orange or reddish, with two separate pyrenes sometimes divided again into 4 one-seeded parts. Pollen spheroidal to prolate-spheroidal or subprolate, finely reticulate or striate-reticulate, 3-colpate or 3-colporoidate. Fig. 6.
Trees or shrubs. Leaves alternate, simple, pinnately-nerved, entire or dentate; mostly petiolate. Iiflorescences paniculate or cymose, mostly terminal. Flowers perfect, + actinomorphic, subsessile to pedicellate; calyx of 5 sepals, open in bud, free or somewhat connate basally; corolla ? funnelform, small, white, 5-lobed, the lobes spreading; stamens 5, mostly exserted, the anthers linear or broadly oblong; ovary 2-or 4-locular, the style bifid near the tip, the stigmas 2, and capitate or clavate. Fruit drupaceous, mostly spherical, with one 4-loculed and 4-seeded stone, with two 2-loculed, 2-seeded stones or with 4 separate stones.
