Leaves of various forms and texture, very commonly lobed and rough, with large stipules often rolled up, inclosing the younger leaves, and leaving a ringed scar when they drop off.

Stamens 3-4, inserted into the base of the calyx and opposite itssegments ; filaments generally slunvelled on the inner face ; anthers 2-celled, openinglengthwise. ^ sepals 3-4-5, sometimes in two rows. Ovary 1-celled, occasionally (byaccident ?) 2-celled. Ovules solitary, pendulous, or amphitropal, with the foramenuppermost; style terminal, bifid, with the lobes often imequal.
