Treculia Decne. ex Trécul

Trees, dioecious or sometimes monoecious. Leaves distichous or almost so, pinnately veined; stipules fully amplexicaul, free. Inflorescences unisexual, sometimes bisexual, in the leaf-axils and/or (especially the pistillate ones) on the older wood down to the trunk, globose to obovoid-capitate, with a thick rachis and numerous peltate long-stipitate bracts. Staminate flowers: perianth 2–4(–5)-lobed; stamens 2–4, straight in bud; pistillode usually absent. Pistillate flowers without a perianth; stigmas 2, filiform, equal. Fruits somewhat drupaceous, embedded in the soft middle layer of the infructescence. Seed large, with remnants of endosperm; cotyledons unequal, curved, one thick, the other thin.
