The male flowers are gene- rally trimerous; but in one species, of which a genus, AUceanthus, has been made, they are tetramerous and tetran- drous. They are un- armed trees and shrubs of tropical Asia and Oceania. With the fun- damental organisation of flowers, androecium and gynsecium of the preceding genera, Pleco- spermum and Cardiogyne are distinguished in that the inflorescence of both sexes has a spherical receptacle on which the glomerules are.
