Shrubs, monoecious; indumentum mostly of simple hairs. Leaves alternate; stipules persistent; petiole present; leaf blade simple, entire; venation pinnate. Inflorescence terminal, cymose. Male flowers: sepals 4 or 5, imbricate; petals 5, white, as long as sepals, serrulate; disk glands 5, opposite sepals; stamens ca. 30; filaments free; anthers 2-celled, longitudinally dehiscent; pistillode absent. Female flowers: sepals 5, accrescent, margins and sometimes back with gland-tipped hairs; petals absent; disk urceolate, entire; ovary 3-locular; ovules 1 per locule; styles 3, connate at base, bipartite. Capsules glabrous, with persistent sepals. Seeds carunculate; cotyledon broad and flat.
