Trees, evergreen (in Mexico and Central America) or rarely deciduous or semi-deciduous. Mature current-year branchlets usually green, or rarely brown. Leaf midvein flat or prominent adaxially, at least at base. Hermaphroditic (in Mexico and Central America) or dioecious. Bracts and bracteoles caducous at anthesis. Petals connate at base only. Androecium adnate to corolla at base only; filaments terete in cross section, apically not constricted. Gynoecium 3-carpellate; disk glabrous (in Mexico and Central America) or pubescent; stigma terminal. Endocarp usually 1-locular, rarely also 2–3-locular with thin and delicate septa, usually rounded or rarely fluted.
