The fruit was a loculidal capsule, dehiscing through two slits and liberating a seminiferous column. The dehiscence process of the fruit involved a separation tissue and two crossed sclerenchymatous mesocarpic layers (middle and subepidermic). The seeds originate from an anatropous, unitegmic and tenuinucellate ovule. It was exotestal and presented polyembryony. The endothelium and endosperm were conserved in the mature seed and protected the embryo. Adventive embryos were made up of hypostase cells.. 收起
