Leaves opposite, entire, lateral nerves numerous, close, parallel, unbranched, alternating with the canals. Inflorescence axillary or terminal, racemose or paniculate. Flowers bisexual or polygamous. Sepals 4, imbricate, inner pair often ± petaloid. Petals 4-12 (in 1-3 whorls) or sometimes absent, white, imbricate or decussate, deciduous. Stamens in 4 obscure antepetalous fascicles or apparently not fascicled, deciduous, very numerous, filaments slender, free or united at base; anthers basifixed, dehiscing longitudinally, often apiculate but without gland on connective; staminodes similar to stamens; sterile fascicles absent. Ovary 1-locular with 1 basal ovule; style 1, slender; stigma excpanded, often peltate.
