protandrous; calyx-limb 4-fid or 4-dentate; corolla trumpet-shaped; lobes in bud dextrorsely
contorted; anthers linear, sagittate at base, not or hardly twisted; connective elongate; ovary 2 (—
3)-celled; ovule 1 per cell, embedded in fleshy placenta; disk thick, annular; style filiform,
thickened at apex; exserted part shorter than corolla-lobes or of the same length; stigmas 2; fruit a
drupe, globose, or slightly 2-lobed, 12 — 1 12 cm across, with 1 or 2 pyrenes, red or ultimately black;
pyrenes with thin,wall, plano-convex, with a round excavation inside; endosperm entire. Leaves
opposite or sometimes in whorl of 3, almost always glabrous; stipules interpetiolar, connate at base
into a short sheath, needle-like acuminate. Erect shrubs or small trees. The pollen becomes attached
to the thickened upper part of style already in bud; in the opened flower the stamens hang down
between the corolla-lobes and the anthers are empty.
6b. Leaves rather gradually and broadly
acuminate, acute, elliptic, oblong, or oblong-
obovate, herbaceous, 712—17 cm by 212—7 cm;
petiole 3—6 cm.

Peduncle of inflorescence 1—4 cm, the latter

rather loose, short-hairy; flowers inodorous;
calyx-lobes ovate; corolla-tube 212—312 cm, red;
lobes ovate, obtuse or rounded,
 entirely glabrous or sparsely ciliate at base, 6—8
mm, orange red; anthers pale orange; style (the
stigmas included) slightly ( 3—5 mm) exserted;
stigmas pale orange. Shrub or treelike shrub.
