Carrierea (after E. A. Carriere, prominent French horticulturist and botanist, died 1896). Flacourtiaceae. Ornamental tree chiefly cultivated for its handsome bright green foliage. Deciduous: lvs. alternate, long-petioled, serrate: fls. dioecious; sepals 5, broadly ovate, pubescent outside; petals wanting; stamens numerous, shorter than the sepals; ovary 1-celled with numerous ovules, rudimentary in the staminate fls.; styles 3-4, 3-lobed, short and spreading: fr. a dehiscent caps.; seeds winged.— One species, or possibly two, in Cent. China. This is a medium-sized tree very much resembling Idesia in appearance, the apetalous flowers with large white sepals in terminal corymbs or short racemes, the staminate usually many-flowered, the pistillate few-flowered, rarely solitary, and with large capsular long-pointed fruits. It has proved fairly hardy at the Arnold Arboretum. Propagated by seeds; can probably also be propagated like Idesia by greenwood and root-cuttings.
