The filaments are inserted at the base of a cylindrical foot supporting the gynseceum, and thickened in the intervals of the stamens into five projecting ribs whose upper part sometimes projects upwards in the manner of an alternipetalous gland. There are flowers in which the perianth and androceum are tetramerous. The gynseceum is free, formed of two or, more rarely, three independent carpels brought together and often adhering at the internal angle; they are each composed of an unilocTilar ovary, tapering upwards in a slender style, obtuse stigma- tiferous at apex.
