874D87EEFFA13A42AF26FB72FF66FE3E.taxon	description	Trees or treelets, occasionally decumbent, 1 – 20 (– 40) meters high, strongly odoriferous, glabrous or densely hairy with simple, stellate, lepidote, or scale-shaped trichomes. Leaves opposite, occasionally whorled, petiolate, membranous, cartaceous or leathery, entire, serrate, denticulate or crenate. Inflorescence cymose, axillary or cauliflower, with bracts generally small, deciduous or absent. Flowers radial, small, green, yellowish, white or reddish. Floral cup subglobose to cupuliform, enclosing the carpels and stamens. Tepals 4 – 8, generally persistent, free or united in a ring, rarely forming a calyptra. Floral roof covering the central part of the floral cup. Staminate flowers with 1 to 10 (– 70) free stamens, rarely fused laterally. Filament flattened, anther with valvate dehiscence, apical. Pistillate flowers with 1 to 35 carpels separated by septa, ovule anatropous. Fruit multiple, cupuliform, globose, subglobose, pyriform or ovoid, with a smooth, warty or tuberculate surface; when mature, purplish, reddish or yellowish, often crowned by tepals and traces of the floral roof, with drupelets enclosed until maturity, or more rarely, the receptacle does not open. Drupelets (usually called “ seeds ” by non-specialists) elliptical to globose, with a thin, transparent, shiny epicarp, fleshy, whitish-gray, bluish, yellowish or pinkish exo- and mesocarp, and hard, endocarp verrucular, sometimes with a red or yellow stylar aril (superaryl), single seed (Renner & Hausner 2005; Peixoto et al. 2020; Brunassi et al. 2022).	en	Brunassi, Gustavo Rebechi, Lírio, Elton John de (2025): Flora of Ceará: Siparunaceae.

Pistillate flowers with pedicels measuring 1.3 – 3.2 mm, floral cup subglobose, 1.9 – 3.2 × 2 – 3.2 mm, more or less densely covered with tufted trichomes, tepals triangular, floral roof raised, at anthesis exceeding the floral cup, separated by a groove from a central tube surrounding the styles, floral roof double, the first fold conical and fleshy, at anthesis forming an elongated ring around the stigmas, the second fold cylindrical and membranous, glabrous, carpels 10 – 15. Fruiting receptacle subglobose, 1.4 – 1.6 cm in diameter, sparsely hairy or glabrescent, crowned by persistent tepals. Fresh fruit with red dots when immature, purple with light dots when mature, internally pink, with a strong odor; when dry, blackish with the drupelets somewhat protruding. Drupelets 6 – 9, fresh drupelets bluishgray, shiny, with red stylar aril arranged in the upper-lateral portion.	en	Brunassi, Gustavo Rebechi, Lírio, Elton John de (2025): Flora of Ceará: Siparunaceae.
