Monodora (Greek, single gift, in allusion to the solitary flowers). Annonaceae. Trees, or shrubs, often with more or less climbing habit.
Flowers extra-axillary or opposite the lvs. or sometimes terminal, borne on a long bracteolate usually pendulous peduncle. This genus forms a distinct tribe distinguished from all other Annonaceae by a 1-celled compound ovary with numerous ovules attached to the inner walls. The fls. are composed of 3 valvate sepals, a corolla of 6 petals united at the base, many short stamens crowded on a spheroid receptacle bearing 2 elongated parallel pollen-sacs capped by the dilated apex of the connective. The ovary borne on the summit of the receptacle expands into a shield-like process, very much like that of a poppy, the upper surface of which is stigmatic. The spherical gourd-like fr. is closely packed with seeds having the small embryo and wrinkled endosperm which is characteristic of all Annonaceae. This genus though of African origin was first established from a plant growing in Jamaica, certainly intro. from Afr. with negro slaves. Of the 11 species described by Engler & Diels, all African, 2 are of economic importance. They are little known as horticultural subjects.
