HYMENOCARDIA View in CoL

Typical for Hymenocardia is the presence of disc-like glandular hairs, the strange staminate bracts, the lack of a disc, stamens with a gland on the connective, and the very flat, 2-locular, samara-like fruits.

The genus name (Greek: humên, humĕnos = fleece; kardĬa = heart) refers to the very flat, heart-shaped fruits ( Backer 2000).
