The gynseceum is composed of an ovary with, three lohes and three cells, each containing an ascendent ovule, with inferior and exterior micropyle, resembling, in a word, that of Sapindus. The style, disengaging itself from the middle of the lobes of the ovary, is simple, having the stigmatiferous extremity entire or slightly trilobate.

The Pancovias are trees from tropical Asia, Oceania, and Africa, with alternate leaves, pari- or impari-pinnate, and having the inflorescence of Sapindus, terminal or sometimes borne on the wood of the stem. Three or four species ^ are distinguished. Chytranthus, consisting of shrubs from tropical western Africa, with inflorescence borne on the wood of the branches, is hardly distinct from Pancovia.
