The very small green monoecious or polygamous flowers are borne in dense axillary cymes; the calyx is 4-parted or 5-parted, the divisions of the staminate calyx being valvate in the bud, those of the perfect flower somewhat imbricated; there are 4 or 5 stamens; the ovary is sessile and surmounted by 2 stigmas. The fruit is a very small globular drupe. I. FLORIDA TREMA—Trema floridana Britten While usually a shrub, this plant sometimes forms a single trunk 10 meters high and 10 to 15 cm. in diameter.
