Tiliacora species are woody climbing shrubs, dioecious. Branches with distinct discoid shaped petiole scars. Leaves simple, alternate, lanceolate, broadly ovate, pinnately 3-5 veined, coriaceous, petioles twisted near the base, usually shorter in female plants than male plants. Inflorescences axillary, panicle, pseudoracemes or cauliflorous, few flowered, peduncled. Flowers unisexual, sessile. Male flowers, sepals 6-12, in series, inner series largest, outer series smallest, free, valvate, ovate, apex acute, petals 3-6, free, shorter than inner sepals, stamens 3-9, filaments free stout, peltate synandrium, anthers 2 loculed, introrse, obliquely dehisced, pistillode absent or occasional. Female flowers sepals and petals similar as in males, staminodes absent or sometimes present, carpels 3-15, apocarpous, ovules 1, style recurved, stigma simple. Fruits drupes, subglobose or obovoid, stipitate shortly, condyle linear, endocarp hard, deeply ruminate, seed horse shoeshaped, compressed cotyledons, flattened, fleshy, incumbent, longer than radicle.

📚 Natural History
Reproduction
Tiliacora species are dioecious i.e., male (staminate) flowers on one plant, and female (pistillate) flowers on another plant. Pollination is entomophilous i.e., by insects. Flowering/Fruiting: April-December.
