Pandaceae, A. R.-Smith. Flora of Tropical East Africa. 1988
- Morphology General Habit
- Dioecious trees or shrubs
- Morphology Leaves
- Leaves alternate, distichous, simple, entire, crenate or serrate, penninerved, stipulate, borne horizontally on shoots which subtend ‘axillary buds’ and thus resemble pinnate leaves; stipules usually persistent, the adaxial one arising below the abaxial
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers
- Flowers small, regular, unisexual, in axillary or supraaxillary fascicles, abbreviated racemes or cymes, or in terminal or cauliflorous racemiform thyrses
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Calyx
- Calyx cupular, truncate or 5-lobed, the lobes imbricate or open
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Corolla
- Petals 5, contorted, imbricate or valvate, flattened or galeate-cucullate
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Nectaries
- Disc small, rarely large, or absent
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Androecium
- Stamens 5, 10 or 15, uniseriate or biseriate, sometimes unequal; anthers introrse, 2-thecous, opening lengthwise; staminodes sometimes present in ? flowers; pistillode of ? flowers linear-subulate, cylindric or narrowly conical, sometimes pentagonal at base
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Gynoecium
- Ovary superior, 2–5-locular, with 1 (–2) apical pendulous orthotropous or anatropous ovules per locule, without obturator; styles 1–5, simple or bipartite
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Fruits
- Fruit a drupe, sometimes flattened, more rarely a capsule; mesocarp fleshy; endocarp woody, bony or stony, thin to thick and massive, usually tubercled, muricate, pitted or ridged, sometimes dehiscent by valves
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Seeds
- Seeds usually flattened-concave, more rarely ovoid, ecarunculate, with endosperm Cotyledons broad, sometimes cordate
