of fruit smooth to slightly verrucate. Stigma restricted. Seeds
one to six. Mesotesta much thicker than endotesta. Mesotesta
one cell layer thick; cells palisade shaped with very thick, evenly
thickened anticlinal walls; anticlinal walls not undulate andwith
smooth inner surfaces. Endoreticulate infillings of the endotesta
cells weakly developed. Endotesta without interspersed cavities.
