Leaves alternate, sin- gle, entire, or lobed; never serrate, coria- cious; usually punctate with transparent dots. Stipules membranaceous, caducous, enveloping the bud. Flowers solitary, large and showy, usually fragrant. Sepals 3 — 6, deciduous, colored. Petals 3, or more; often in several rows. Stamens indefinite, hypogynous, distinct. Filaments short. Anthers adnate. Ovaries numerous, arranged in several rows on the elongated receptacle, forming a kind of cone. Seeds 1—2 in each carpel, from which, when ma- ture, they are often suspended by a slender funiculus. Embryo minute, at the base of the fleshy albumen. A noble order, consisting chiefly of large trees, native mostly at the South and West. Tlje bark often contains an intensely bitter principle, which is tonic and stimulant.
