Shrubs or trees [rarely vines], evergreen [deciduous]; lepidote (scales peltate) and/or hairy (trichomes stellate). Stems erect. Leaves: alternate; petiole relatively long or short, nectaries present or not; blade ovate to ovate-elliptic or narrowly to broadly elliptic, or lanceolate, margins entire. Inflorescences terminal or axillary, racemes or corymbs. Flowers: sepals equal [2 unequal pairs], each often subtending a nectary; stamens 8 or 18–30[–60]; filaments inserted on ± flat receptacle; anthers ellipsoid; gynophore slender, elongating in fruit. Capsules dehiscent or not, linear-cylindric, ovoid, obovoid, or globose (thick-walled). Seeds 1–many, usually reniform, not arillate. x = 8 [10].
Distribution
s, se United States, Mexico, West Indies, Central America, n South America.
