Alangium (from the Malabar name). Including Marlea. Alangiaceae, formerly included in Cornaceae. Trees or shrubs, rarely grown in temperate regions for their handsome large foliage and fragrant fls. A genus of over 20 species of shrubs or small trees of the Old World tropics, with alternate entire or Iobed evergreen or deciduous Ivs. and small, perfect whitish, often fragrant, fls. in axillary clusters; calyx small, campanulate; petals 4-10, linear, usually laxly reflexed; stamens 4-30; ovary inferior, style simple, elongated: fr. a 1-seeded drupe. Sometimes cult. in Old World gardens, either as stove plants or out-of-doors in warmer regions, but probably not in the American trade.
