Characteristics

Small trees or shrubs. Leaves pinnate; leaflets entire. Inflorescences axillary, terminal or from older wood. Flowers slightly zygomorphic; calyx of (4–)5 partly united sepals, the sinuses between lobes unequal; petals (3–)4, clawed, scale lobed or elaborately fringed and appendaged on the abaxial surface; disk variously semicircular or complete, variable within same species. Stamens 7–11; filaments nearly glabrous to densely hairy. Ovary 3-lobed; style shortly 3-fid at the apex. Fruit indehiscent, either 1–3 mericarps free from the base to narrowly joined for 2/3 their length, or a 3-lobed drupe.
