Description

Maclurodendron species are dioecious. The leaves are opposite and the leave blade is 1-foliolate.[2] The inflorescences can be axillary, thyrsoid or racemose. The four sepals are connated on the basis. The four petals are imbricated in the bud. The eight stamens are distinct. The opposite sepals are almost as long as the petals which are in male and in female flowers.
