- [Alsodeia] Capsula calyce et corolla persistentibus induviata obverse turbinata obtuse 3-gona (DeCandolle), capsule induviate with persistent calyx and corolla, obversely turbinate, obtusely 3-angled.

- [Hymenanthera] capsula subbaccata (in sicco rugosa aut venosoreticulata) tenuis ovata (uniloculars monosperma ? [sic]) 2-locularis, loculis 1-spermis (sec. Brown), calyce petalis staminibusque induviata (DeCandolle), capsule somewhat berrylike [i.e. fleshy] (in the dry state rugose or venous-reticulate), thin, ovate (unilocular? with one seed?) 2-locular, with the locules one-seeded (according to Brown), induviate with the calyx, petals and stamens [i.e. with [remnant] calyx, petals and stamens persisting,i.e. not deciduous].
