Abstract

Aluminum-accumulating trees and shrubs of wet primary tropical forests; indumentum sparse, of short unicellular trichomes;Combretocarpus flowers with multicellular peltate trichomes. Leaves alternate, sometimes dimorphic (anisophyllous), estipulate. Inflorescences axillary, racemose to paniculate. Flowers (3)4(5)-merous, small, mostly unisexual by abortion, with smaller male flowers (plants monoecious) but bisexual in Combretocarpus; calyx and petals valvate; petals distinct, lobed or laciniate (entire in Polygonanthus); stamens twice the number of petals; anthers dorsifixed, introrse; nectary disk intra- and interstaminal, discontinuous, lobed or crenate, on top of the ovary; gynoecium of (3)4(5) united carpels with distinct stylodia; ovary (hemi)inferior, 3–4-locular, with 1 or 2 ovules per loculus. Fruit usually a 1- or few-seeded drupe but dry and winged in Combretocarpus. Endosperm 0, the embryo with reduced or no cotyledons; germination hypogeal. n = 7, 8.

Anisophylleaceae Ridl. (1922). Rhizophoraceae subfam. Anisophylloideae A.F.W. Schimper (1893).
