Leaves alternate to pseudoverticillate, petiolate, simple, subentire to shallowly toothed, subtriplinerved and penninerved, with a pair of glands toward base of lamina; stipules soon deciduous. Inflorescences terminal, paniculate, panicle branches pseudospicate or racemose; bracts small to minute, entire, those of male inflorescences many-flowered, those of female ones 1-flowered. Male flowers on short articulate pedicels; calyx ovoid-ellipsoid in buds, later splitting into 3 or 4 valvate lobes; petals 0; disc composed of +/- 15 densely pubescent extra- and intrastaminal glands; stamens (6-)8(-15), filaments free, fairly long, flexuose, anthers subapicifixed, introrse, thecae free at base, pendulous from a produced conical connective, each unequally bilocellate, with larger locellus on outside, +/- longitudinally dehiscent; pistillode 0. Female flowers on short articulate pedicels; calyx (4)5-lobed, lobes valvate, later strongly reflexed; petals 0; disc composed of 6-8 thick scale-like glands truncate and pubescent at apex; ovary 3-locular, with 1 ovule per locule; styles 3, free, entire, recurved-spreading, fimbriate. Fruit 3-lobed, loculicidally dehiscent into 3 valves, or septicidally into 3 bivalved cocci; exocarp slightly fleshy; endocarp crustaceous; columella persistent, narrow, triquetrous. Seeds ovoid; exotesta pseudoarillate, fleshy, red; mesotesta thick, indurated, foveolate, shiny, black; endotesta distinct, grey; endosperm fleshy; cotyledons broad, flat.
