Trees, shrubs or suffrutices, with the young parts and inflorescences stellately tomentose. Milky latex intermittently present in a few species. Leaves alternate, imparipinnate or 3-foliolate, rarely 1-foliolate (and thus appearing simple), entire, sometimes with domatia. Panicles terminal or axillary, ± branched and pyramidal or spike-like. Male flowers: calyx 4-partite; petals 4; stamens 8. Female flowers: calyx and petals similar to males; staminodes present; ovary 4-locular; styles 3-4. Drupe obovoid or ovoid. Derivation of name: derived from Latin = wool; the young parts are densely hairy. Worldwide: 40 species in tropical Africa and Indomalesia. Zambia: 14 taxa. |
