In connection with the Maples, Dobinea has been placed in this series. It is a a shrub from the mountains of India, having opposite simple leaves and tetra- merous male flowers, diplostemonous and double perianth, whilst the female flower has an unilocular ovary, with a descendent ovule, superior and interior micropyle, and no perianth; but the dry, compressed, marginated fruit, containing a seed whose embryo has flat oval cotyledons and an accumbent radicle, is adnate to a bract growing in a sub orbicular, membranous, veined wing resembling a samara.
