The stamens are very numerous, and are spirally arranged; and the carpels are variable in number, sessile or stipitate and slightly united at the base and dehisce by ventral suture.

Fruit dehiscing irregularly, the pericarp thin, loose and usually roughened; not salt-marsh plants.

It has been noted with respect to the nectar of the fuchsia that it is most abundant when the anthers are about to dehisce, and absent in the unexpanded flower.

Follicle, a pod formed from a single pistil, dehiscing along the ventral suture only.

The funicles of the ovules frequently attain a great length in the seed, and in some magnolias, when the fruit dehisces, they appear as long scarlet cords suspending the seeds outside.
