Common name: None

Description:
Glabrous or tomentose; haustorial attachments with or without epicortical (i.e. on the bark of the host) runners; leaves flat or terete, when flat usually curvinerved.

Inflorescence axillary, primarily a pedunculate many-rayed umbel of triads but variously reduced, especially to a head or simple umbel; bracts single under each flower; petals free (in Australia), mostly 4-6; anthers basifixed, immobile, introrse, 2- or 4-locular; style usually articulate at the base; fruit globular to ellipsoid.

Distribution:  About 100 species ranging from Malaya and the Philippines to Australia and the western Pacific; 36 species in Australia.
