| | Scyphostegia borneensis |
 | | Its unusual combination of dioecy, basal placentation, 3-merous flowers, and telescoping inflorescence bracts have puzzled botanists, and the species has been placed by different authors in several different and distantly-related families, including Monimiaceae, Moraceae, Tamaricaceae, and Flacourtiaceae. |
 | | Female flowers lacking disk glands, with a gynoecium consisting of a superior, unilocular, urceolate ovary (appearing somewhat fig-like) with basal placentation and numerous erect, anatropous ovules; style and stigma not evident, perhaps depressed into the center. |
 | | Fruits fleshy capsules deshicent from the apex, reminiscent of Monimiaceae. |
