Leaves mostly alternate, petioled, entire or dentate: fls. in dense heads or clusters or scirpioid cymes, perfect or polygamous, the corolla usually white or orange; calyx tubular or campanulate, toothed or lobed; corolla tubular, funnelform or salverfonn, lobed, the parts and the stamens 4 or more; style 4-lobed: fr. a drupe which is 4-loculed and usually 4-seeded.—Species about 230 in tropical and subtropical regions, mostly in the western hemisphere.
