Shrubs or trees; rhizomes present or absent. Branches and leaves usually opposite, rarely whorled, subopposite, or alternate at some nodes. Inflorescences cymes; bracts numerous, minute, not petaloid, subtending primary and secondary inflorescence branches, proximal portion adnate to branch, free portion caducous. Pedicels present. Drupes distinct; stone apex rounded, pointed, or with slight dimple.
Distribution
North America, Mexico, Central America, n, w South America, Eurasia.
Discussion
Species ca. 30 (11 in the flora).
What is treated here as subg. Thelycrania has almost invariably been called subg. Kraniopsis Rafinesque. That name is invalid, however, because C. S. Rafinesque (1838) apparently treated his new taxon as a genus, not a subgenus, and no publication validating the name at the subgeneric rank has been located.
Selected References
None.
