Leaves ovate-oblong, broadly ovate or obovate, base cordate, margins serrate; petiolate with +/-caducous stipules. Flowers in axillary, cymose panicles, racemes or fascicles, bisexual or unisexual. Sepals 3, subvalvate, free to base. Petals 6-12, imbricate, larger than sepals. Stamens very many, in two series, outer somewhat longer than inner ones; filaments slender, rather short; anthers linear, dehiscing by slits. Ovary 1-locular, with 3-5 parietal, multi-ovulate placentas; style simple, apex subentire. Fruit a globose, tardily dehiscent (? or indehiscent), echinate capsule splitting into 3-5 longitudinal valves. Seeds moderately numerous, ovoid or compressed, with a crustaceous testa, arillate at base, sometimes pubescent; embryo straight, cotyledons foliaceous, ovate.
